After only a month on the market the 3DS has lost it's spot in the Japan handheld market to the PSP. The 3DS fell behind the PSP by a margin of about 15,000 units.
What's more, according to a report from Japanese news site Inside Games, only around 836,000 3DS units have been sold in Japan so far -- a little over half of the initial Japanese shipment.

This launch somewhat reminds me of the PS3 launch where people expected a frenzy for the new system but the market just isn't as hungry for the new system yet.
