PS3 sales of Soul Sacrifice are 0. Do the comparison.

No dude you should have made a troll thread saying that PS3 Soul Sacrifice bombed and was the lowest selling game of the year.

Such a major flop is something VGChartz needs to talk about!

No way! You can get the 3DS for 149.99 in some places, and the 3DSXL for 169.99. That is perfectly fine.

Exactly. That's a perfectly fine price and might be even too low.

Quite dissapointed really. Didnt expect the 3ds to dip like ot has this month. This is the second month running luigi has been pretty heavily undertracked now. Around 85k last month and 100k this month. Pokemon cant come soon enough because now i dont even think donkey kong will have that much of an effect on hardware. I suppose animal crossing is the next genuine hardware seller.

The combination of Donkey Kong/Animal Crossing/Mario & Luigi shpuld keep sales pretty solid for the next few months then beast mode once Pokemon hits and Zelda will help too.

Hopefully the mix of those games will help, especially animal crossing. Still dont see donkey kong doing much though. Will be interesting to see what the numbers are when pokemon is released. If it does not get a sustained boost after the mulitude of games this year then i dont think it ever will.

Ya DK probably wont push much hardware, but I think the game will selll pretty well

Well the DSXL is still pretty high. So they need to keep the 3DS away from the DS price. Time to drop the DSXL price one final time to 89.99 for good. Then once it is done selling, drop it after this Christmas during the Summer of 2014. imo.

That's not too bad of an idea. (And yes, all I had to do was take my AP Exam.)

To be honest I just want to know what Tomb Raider, God of War: Ascension (with and without the legacy bundle) and Gears of War: Judgment did. I'm surprised they all dropped out of the top 10, I'm thinking they all did between 50k-80k. It would be great if someone from here who has a NeoGAF account could ask creamsugar and see if he'll hint at anything.
