Forums - Nintendo Discussion - So, 3DS sales are bad in Japan, we need to worry about it

 

3DS sales are bad

DQXI, MH and Smash will help 66 43.71%
 
Nothing stops this train 53 35.10%
 
I'm crying 18 11.92%
 
Stock problems, nuff said 13 8.61%
 
Total:150

Look at the latest Media Create numbers:

Vita: 25,298

3DS: 23,562

PS4: 13,034

PS3: 7,305

Wii U: 5,512

PSP: 2,027

360: 229

 

Yes, it's on Vita levels. Looks like Pokemon X/Y wasn't enough. Hopefully DQXI is announced soon, alongside a new Monster Hunter and Smash Bros.

There's still room for improvement, but I believe the LTD in Japan is good with more than 15m already sold.

@ bolded - Doesn't his conflict with your title?  Is it good or bad?



I agree 23k is very low for 3DS in Japan, when you consider it isn't lighting up US or Europe either (hovering around 100k per month in US, probably similar in Europe) how much longer is 3DS going to hold out before it needs a successor?

Maybe. My point is that actual sales are bad, but ltd is good.

Yes. 100k per week is not as good as many expected, and that after 2DS and Pokemon. I don't think there's anything else big to be released, and I doubt smash is a big hit.

Yes , we need to worry about it. Reaching Vita levels is very dangerous, I think Nintendo will be in need of a successor sooner than we expected.

You mean per month? :P I don't understand this sites numbers tbh. It's doing 25k~ in Japan, and 25k in Europe and US weekly, so why do we have a weekly average above 110k?? It's probably around 80k - 90k weekly.

Maybe it's because of the rest of the world sales. Don't they count?

I think it must be "Others"

Anyway, those are low numbers.
