Sad when OOT in Americas didn't sell as well as it did in Japan, considering Zelda isn't as hot in Japan. Neither did it move as many 3DS units,very close to where Japan hit. I hope Nintendo starts realizing that many still think this is an extension of the DS family and not a new system on its own. |
OoT 3D in Americas has sold more in one week than Japan has in two weeks. Also, I'm not sure what you're talking about. Last week, 3DS sales for Americas were 20k, and this week they're 44k. That's a 24k boost, and Japan's first-week increase was 24k to 40k, which is only a 16k boost. You got your number wrongs in both areas.
Although, I completely agree that Nintendo needs to advertise the 3DS as a new platform. Even my entire family who I showed it to thought it was just another DS, even when I showed them the 3D. "So it's a DS with 3D?"

Compare that to sales of the 3DS in Japan when OOT released
Japan approx 40,000
America approx 44,000 (couldn't even surpass the DS)
approx: 166,000 to 215,000 isn't something to brag about.
America is Nintendo's strongest region yet only surpasses Japan 3DS sales by 4,000 and 49,000 in software.
