All media create numbers. DS did 500k a month for long periods non-holiday. (only top 3 shown)


Well, it didn't have a successor out and most of the market saturated at that point, now did it, :P? If you're talking about this leading to 3DS being big as well, I doubt anyone would disagree with you; they probably think that 3DS will be heavily supply constrained at first, which is fairly reasonable, I guess.
