It's pretty bad to say it failed just as badly as the VB did which simply isn't true, though I guess it's just the new generation version of the term "flop" considering 3DS is stuck in a typical cycle that happens when consumers decide to wait for something to get it, which then in turn makes developers wait to support the system because they don't see fan demand for it being high. They pushed it out way too soon, but the sales on Zelda OoT 3D kind of shows it didn't "flop", just doing poorly, especially given it was way overpriced.

It is a bad launch, no one denied that, but a fail on the size on VB? Far from it honestly.
