..that and if you alian the 3DS to the DS things are only about even right now but if you look further out into DS's performance you'll notice a dramatic increas in performance about 18-22 months out.  that's when the 3DS is likely to really fall behind on aligned launches.

Or perhaps the 3DS will top the DS sales still then, because the 3rd-Party lineup is much better (Resident Evil!, Metal Gear!, Tekken!, Street Fighter!, Monster Hunter!) than for DS.


i'd have to check my timeline to be 100% sure but the bump in sales came quite specifically from software and specifically release of nintendogs and brain training.  those 3rd party games were and the DS and gameboy before and not the reason for the fanastic DS sales numbers.  as Rol stated above, their stategy can change but right now I don't see them working to recreate the real reason the DS was soo successful.  bumps from price drops are temporary, without software to back it up 3DS will decline and right now I don't see nintendo developing the kind of games they really need to be developing.

edit - and since this thread is about vita ... lol at sony finding that market.
