The home entertainment maestros are still chasing similar success for its three-dimensional sibling, the 3DS, however. Nintendo has managed to sell almost half a million three dee units units after its weighty price cut (http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/09/nintendo-on-price-reduction-no-glasses-required-to-see-3ds-sale/), but there's now some very potent competitors (http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/01/apple-claims-50-percent-of-portable-gaming-market-ipod-touch-o/) seeking their own slice of the (portable) gaming pie. Good luck, Nintendo, you're probably going to need it.
