| ioi said: I'm happy with our software figures. You have to look to the long-term, sales will pick up as soon as Zelda, Mario Kart, Mario etc arrive, I'm sure the Street Fighter IV and Nintendogs shipments will sell out, just not as soon as they probably hoped. The best thing to do is look back to the DS launch (and other launches) - you'll see that actually things nearly always start slowly and take a good 6-9 months to really ramp up. It is actually fairly normal for a machine to be outsold most weeks by it's predecessor in the early days (especially if the predecessor was so successful). That said, 3DS sales have been disappointing to date but not as bad as some are making out - sales will soon pick up once the games arrive. |
Thanks for replying. I'm sure you can see how the sales may look off to some people. That many units on shelves while selling that much per Week really does look strange.
I guess if you're happy with the figures for 3DS games then there's nothing to worry about on that one 
I actually thought this thread would have more discussion anyway. 3DS seems to get a lot of attention in the "Up!" threads.
