DS was releaesd during X'mas BTW

Japan is the only territory in which 3DS is doing worse than DS after the launch, but it's too difficult to accept I guess. Even for Nintendo, they hoped for better sales than DS...

yes but remember japan washit by an earthquake with a nuclear power leak. I don't think many people care about getting a new system yet. 

the reason I think this is an issue because the monitor I wanted has been delayed 4 times (whole sale frm japan) since the earthquake with ETA being unknown atm when it was meant to be here 2months ago.
