It's not doing terribly now, but it's not doing anywhere near as well as the NDS. I guess a console has to sell 100M + to be considered a success nowadays.

This. I'm starting to feel some are not scared of Nintendo as they are too soft and easy to bash for some reason 
NOTHING will do as well as DS or PS2 until the industry gets a massive change that noone yet expects. I hardly believe anything this gen will reach 100m just by looking at the past 3 years.

Uhm, it's still the fastest selling console though. It just depends on how you define that. Fastest selling in its launch period? Fastest selling out of the gate? But, having said that, PS4 can still easily be compared to PS2. They will follow more similar sales curves than PS4 vs. Wii due to both being Sony consoles and both likely having long legs. |
Fast selling first day, first month, and I think up until June it was ahead so first 6 months as well. I never had an issue with the PS4 vs. PS2 comparsion that would be other people in this thread....

But it isn't selling as well as the PS4. if you align launches or compare week to week sales. |
??? besides this week, its been pretty close as of late.

Considering the PS4's price and each games price, you'd suspect that the 3DS would be doing exceptionally better...right? OT: The 3DS is selling poorly despite so many things it has in its corner. Nintendo's first party titles, the large 3rd party titles, the majority of 3rd party exclusives, price point, lackluster competetion, head start I mean the list goes on. It should be doing better with the available resources it has. |
Handheld vs Console. Those darn tablets and other alternatives. XD

Ya idk why people act like a console has to do 100m+ to be successful. By that standard Gameboy, Playstation, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS and Wii are the only successful consoles in the history of gaming.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
Forget the DS comparisons though, the GBA is kicking the 3DS' butt pretty good too.
Last year represented the lowest shipments for Nintendo handhelds since 1997 or thereabouts, which is before the GBC launched.
It's doing OK, but it represents an alarming collapse in Nintendo's handheld dominance. Kids and casuals are clearly flocking away to tablets/phones.
And this year is down from last year again.

Me people
If the 3DS was doing well, it should have matched or exceeded the DS. It's not able to hold the empire, it's doing poorly. Same with the Vita, Wii U, PS4, and Xbone. The whole industry is doing poorly and needs to evolve.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
