Turns out you're likely right.

For now the race to overtake the 3DS until it's pricecut begins. It'll have to build up quite a comfotable cushion in order to stand a chance againt it.

With Nintendos productions targets moving up constantly it might be possible. Newest reports say they want to produce 20m by March 2018, so lets see how that goes.

Since not everyone knows it and because your post is as good as any to mention it: Using the 3DS as the bar is reaching for the stars, because the 3DS holds the record for the highest sales within the first twelve months of launch by a comfortable margin. It did ~5m.

Maybe I'm not understanding you, but 3DS sold more in the first 12 months and sold less than the Wii did. It sold 3.6 million as of March 31, 2011 and then sold another 13.5 million in its first full fiscal year. The Wii sold 18 million in its first full fiscal year. But again, maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying.
