There’s no way in hell they only sold 10,000 consoles. This is Nintendo! The ultimate go to present for young kids regardless of what the console name is. From a quote I found on IGN:

I'm currently replaying Final Fantasy XII and the writing and dialogue is (usually, Vaan...) absolutely top notch, even if the story itself is a bit convoluted. What happened after that? The 13 series seems seriously dumbed down. Lost count of how many times I've wanted to cringe while watching the trailers.
