great start by 3DS in America, software sales looks much better here than EMEAA and Japan too

Yeah.. the 3DS in U.S. was like 3x's greater then in EMEA. I was surprised at how many 3DS titles there are in the Top 30 on the list. That's insane. 3DS leads the world, which is no surprise. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Might stay like this until the end of the year when Gears of War 3 or Unchart 3 bundles get released.

Wait, in the thread of Media Create many are calling flop because 3DS as fallen under PSP, let's not speak too early, maybe PS3 in one week will outsell it and we all know what it means...failure.[/sarcasm]
Really, great opening, and let's remember that Nintendo's strategy is not to sell gazillions on D1 but to sell long term like DS did...another Wii would be a disappointment, if 3DS sells software for everyone the games will come out every week and it will sell even more.

Another Wii would be a disappointment? What?!? Did you actually say that? lol!! Sony wishes they had Wii's numbers. Microsoft is satisfied with their numbers because 1) They surpassed the might Sony Playstation. 2) They completely outsold the original XBox by a large margin (even doubling Japan sales). 3) They are completely out of debt that the original XBox got them in.
As for DS numbers. I think the U.S. sales alone will stay above 200K for the rest of the year, as long as Nintendo keep bringing out 'must buy' exclusive titles. With Zelda, StarFox, Kid Icarus.

Yeah everyone would want a console unable to sell games...Wii has had incredible numbers for hardware and for some software; but it's dead after three years for gamers (look at the sales of games, especially in Japan)...this is why Nintendo DON'T want another Wii, they want a DS; which sells well for years and years, selling software for every company.
|
Dead!?!? Have you even looked at the software charts for the last 2-3 months? Wii has been above the PS3 and even the XBox 360 several times over the past 3 months in software sales. The only place it isn't doing that great is in Japan, but it's killing the competition everywhere else. Nintendo wants a better Wii. One with HD graphics, better online, 3D, more unique controls, more DD content and much better accessories. Even in the Wii slowest time, it's still keeping up with the competition overall.

I think you're the one who can't see right...the charts show that in the last two years Wii wasn't able to sell not Nintendo-made games, with few exceptions (Epic Mickey and Just Dance mainly). Sure, the line up wasn't that great, but this means nothing, since Wii is the leading console, with 30 m of advantage and can just barely sell more software than the PS3, even counting 250k bundled with the console.
Please note that I'm saying this but the same Iwata said that the don't want another Wii situation, with discontinued periods of launch due to lack of third parties, caused by their impossibility of selling (while on some cases is just their fault, games like LKS, NMH, RS2, Madworld and others deserved more sales) well. 3DS is showing this,
Wii for Nintendo is still a viable way (even if Galaxy seels 6m instead of 9 they still make profits), but what about Game Cube? It sold its 20 m just because of Nintendo games, they don't want to prepare the launch of a console with only their support, and 3DS is showing this (while Wii is the perfect example of an abandoned console).
