Is 400k really that awesome ?

 

Where are those 1,2 M preorders from America and EMEA ?

Where are those 200k 3dses that were supposed to be sold in UK alone ?

 

Hell Wikipedia mentions PSP sold over 185k in it's first week in UK alone.

Just one day sales? I know most people who preordered picked up their system on its first day, but still 1 day is different from a full week, look at Japan, in its first two days it sold pretty much 2/3 of the FW and Japan is the most frontloaded country...next week numbers should be still excellent (plus we should wait for further adjustements, like there have been for SW).

First week sales always are just 1-2-3 days (depending on region etc)


In US they'll be 6 days.

And anyway, I was not comparing 3DS launch with other consoles, just saying that FW means nothing about consoles sales. If Nintendo said that 3DS is the most preordered console ever for them, how could it possibly have a worse opening than their major consoles (DS, GB, Wii)? Only if the shipments were low, but I haven't heard of those problems in Europe like there have been in japan...


A bigger % of preorder sales compared to the grand total, maybe? It often happens with products hyped that much.
