I don't think it will. With a strong Americas launch, I don't see the 3DS being above 3 million by the end of the month. If the game came packaged with a proper launch title (say Layton made it outside Japan) I think the console would have been better off. |
Japanese launch was excellent, and the first news we can read about the American one tell us about stellar sales, but it looks like lack of Layton damaged EU launch: even considering that portables are bigger in Japan than elsewhere, if we take into account EU population, more than 3 times as Japan, and American sales too, with USA plus Canada having a slightly smaller population than EU, we could have expected some more, that is, VGC numbers before adjustment looked like the minimum reasonable compared to the other regions. WW launch will be huge anyway, overall, but it could have been even bigger. We'll remain with the unsatisfied curiosity of how big a portable launch could have been if Ninty did everything at its best and full steam...
