Ok Now for an analysis!!! The Great, The Avg, and of course The Bad! Anywayzzz lets begin! With info 1st...
*** Notes***
~3DS in US sold 2.57mil in 2014. It was at 1.25mil before the holidays (Jan-Oct) With Nov/Dec being 515k/810k (1.33mil)
~3DS 2014 avg 117k per month from Apr-Oct
~3DS is currently around 732k sold with its first 3 months.
~It would need an avg of 74k per month to be flat YoY 2014 before holidays atm (selling 517k more 3ds's)
~3DS in 2014 reached 762k by end of June. 870k by end of July. If 3DS can manage 148k for April, it be a tie 2015 4months vs 2014 7months!!
