It is right according to the article....

well ok, im just saying that article has a misunderstanding title



Wow I am away for 2months and all this news. What the hell is 2ds? I l8ve it.



Switch!!!

Very misleading article with its 'facts and figures'



 

Software is up, but hardware is down YoY to date, so the title is misleading.

Software is up mainly because they've released more games this year to date -- last year prior to NSMB2 launching, I think we had like Kid Icarus Uprising and Spirit Camera and Mario Tennis from Nintendo?

This year you have Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem, DKCR, Mario & Luigi.

It would appear to be software which is up, and not hardware. I think you sourced a bad article.

Although I guess it makes sense why.  The XL most likely is the reason, but the 2DS should bring things back up to speed and this year should be up YOY.



software is up 30%. hardware isnt. prepare your sig spurg, prepare your sig.

It's normal for software to increase YOY early in a console's life. The biggest reason is because games released last year and the year before are still selling in addition to the new titles.

Don't sell their success short, though. Software is up -- there's no "but" or "only because" involved unless Nintendo is giving away games for free. And several of these games are selling well above expectations.



This is good news!
