It was likely doing really bad because it was overpriced. I'm not sure how you aren't understanding this argument.
Yet if this was a non-Nintendo system, people would be saying how its a failure. Nintendo isn't infallible. There is literally no way you can argue that the first 6 months of the 3DS are positive in any single way, especially now with the massive price drop.
Has there ever been a system that started off this bad that ended up wildly successful? Even PS3 took longer to lower its price, and PS3 has never fully recovered. I'm not saying 3ds won't still do well... its just lost any chance of being as dominant this generation as the last few Nintendo handhelds.
