I'd actually argue the 3DS was out of touch as well, but had a lot of fortunate circumstances to save it.

You would not dare argue it was a success though, right? Success makes the, "out of touch" argument very uphill. People lopsidedly cherrypicked the failure while ignoring the success. They can be blamed because they made that decision.

To be fair: the design choices specifically made for the 3DS weren't that great, but as most of it's design is based on the DS and the 3DS stayed all the time compatible to the full library of the DS. That and the big effort of Nintendo (price-cut and games) saved the 3DS.
