Data table added... the numbers are cumulatives.

Interesting. Now, sorry for bothering again, but a thousands separator would be more user friendly.

That's a problem... my Excel is PT-BR so the separator is . and not ,

I'm trying to resolve that.

Great? Ha, not even in Europe it is. It's terrible Japan, bad America and meh EU. It's losing steam and traction fast, and with nothing real big on the horizon, sales will continue to slide.

I can't take sales by themselves, because the 3DS was considered a failure with far superior sales. So the Vita is worse than a failure. No backtracking now.

Will not forget.


For the Nintendo portable, yes it was considered a failure. Expectations are really high.
Any other portable selling that much would have been considered a success.

I guess it is doing bad (JP), meh (US) and great (EU).

But there are so few weeks for US and EU... I'm waiting more weeks to have a better perspective.


Great in EU? I don't even think 3DS is doing great in EU NOW.

So, every Nintendo handheld is a failure, while a handheld from another company selling at least some thousand units (say Wonderswan) is a success? Hmm, that reasoning applied the PS3 is a big failure, as it does not PS2-numbers, but the XBOX360 is a gigantic success!

Sony (really) has to do something large at E3 or the PS-Vita is in big trouble ...

At its current pace, the PS-Vita will be lucky to sell 4.5 to 5 million units in the first year; which will likely have some pretty big consequences.

Cheers mate, one can see the difference, so much better now.

Now, if it's not much to ask, could you highlight the weeks where 3DS got the pricecut?
