Anyone else think that, while the sales have been strong for a single console, they look a bit mediocre when u consider this one machine has succeeded 2 consoles? Would we be praising nintendos sales if they were currently selling a portable and a home console with each selling half as much? Just a thought.

The only way to compare it is through revenue not sold units. Because 1 person can buy a Home console and a handheld = 2. While 1 person can buy a hybrid that is a homeconsole and a handheld = 1. 

That makes sense. Also if we are looking at the success side of things, u arent going to have software attachments on 2 markets unless ur successfully combining those markets. So again, to ur point,the relation between units sold and success is a bit skewed. So, maybe what we've gleaned is that units sold is more of a talking point and doesnt necessarily mean success?
