hmm... too bad, I had already found a nickname and stuff...

Still, a couple of people upgrading hardly matters in the end, Vita shall have the games regardless.

Stop Hating on 3DS -_-

you need to stop replying to the trolls and the "forbidden word"s

The word Troll is just as forbidden as fanboys on here. Your post reminds me of the guy who said "f***ing cunts".

xD

How about the point that 3DS will probably not sell as much as GBA? essentially 3DS is looking to be the lowest selling nintendo handheld.

Here are shipments for Gameboy Advance as of March 31, 2005 (4 years after launch)

Japan-15.55

Americas-33.37

Others-17.87

For comparison here are 3DS shipments as of December 31, 2014 (one quarter short of 4 years)

Japan-18.70

Americas-16.77

Others-14.93

3DS in Japan is slightly above GBA, 3DS in Others is slightly below GBA, they pretty much cancel each other out. The problem Nintendo is facing with 3DS is in the Americas, where it's barely over half of GBA in the same time frame. It's the same thing with Wii U where the majority of its decline compared to Gamecube is from the Americas. Nintendo needs to find a way to make their devices attractive to the American consumer again. I'm not sure how exactly they will do it, but it must be done.

Nice analysis. A full on attack on the USA is a must from nintendo.

Wow at the N3DS sales... And people still say smart phone gaming is the reason the Vita is not doing well... Right...

That is definitely a contributing factor to the lower handheld segment overall. Look at 3DS for proof. It has a ridiculous market share but is still tracking FAR behind DS at this point with no reprieve in sight. Same story for Vita and its predecessor.

The DS was a monster. A console being behind it means NOTHING.

Agree. The 3DS sales are comparable with the GBA.

End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

Actually it's tracking 15 million behind GBA and in the Americas it's only about half of GBA in the same time frame.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Well to be fair it was edited in like 15 min or something. Probably just a minor mistake, especially considering nothing other than the 3DS was changed.
