wow some one thinks 3ds sales are bad first of all its out pacing DS and lol when did ds ever sell ten million in a month? freaking kidding me
your over exaggerating .
no console sells over 1 million a month out side the holidays ds always sold half a million or slightly less unless a price drop or big game came which case it sold 600 k
and i do not think 3ds outselling ds matters
what matters is 3ds vs vita
if the 3ds continues what its doing vita will stay behind. and 3ds will be a success -it already begins profiting in april of this year so . its funny you think its in the same boat as sony
its not e ven close
and yes sony repeated the mistake . -the mistake was letting competition make their move! because they did so nintendo gets 3rd party support sony would have had .
and 280 bucks for a handheld does not go well when your competitor is 100 dollars cheaper and is bc with all ds games -which gives you the size of mount everest to choose from lol
vs vita which in the us is not even getting that umd program lol . --which hurts them even more . i seen alot of post on gamespot where users changed their minds on getting one because of this me i dont care but . that don't change the fact this is going to affect the outcome of the us again
and with little new game announcments besides the 30 games we know which consist of many ports of console games any way .
what really gets me is that Sony refuses to do what they did during the ps1 era . remember how they got nfs exclu sive driver exclusive funny thing about driver is . 3ds got it exclusively
and lets talk 007
since 2005s from russia with love psp has not seen a 007 title. ds/3ds can play 3 007 titles already (quantum of solace blood stone and goldeneye)
and since im a 007 fan , if vita got one id be pleased .
but the way it looks i dont see it ever getting one .
i see 3ds continuing where ds left off in that department .
due to the already 16 million large userbase.
there is no way activision is gonna walk past money
theres only 4 games if any i see worthy in the vita library today
1-asphalt injection (thus because i played the ds versi ons)
2 -uncharted
3 -resistance -not out yet i think but ya (well im in the us nothing for vitas out until 22 of feb )
4 wipe out
thats out of the 20 plus games.
(of course when i made this list i don't include ports)
then theres some titles i would play a little game i call risk your wallet (buying a game from an ip never heard of)
and people whine for new i p's well why whine for somthing not knowing what its going to be i'd rather have a entry in a established franchise not a port though but . a portable version from the ground up such is the case with the 4 titles i mentioned
and to back this up
lets look at ps2 do we sit here and count its sales against ps3 360 wii ? i didn't think so
you only compare consoles of the generation because not all the time will a console sell 150 million units .theres various factors for that
does not make any console a failure if they fail to out sell ps2 or 3ds fails to outsell ds . its still another nintendo handheld
so even if that were so . nintendo still wins because its well a nintendo product
so if you wanna play the 3ds is gonna fail because it dont look like its gonna sell 150 million then i can sit here and add them two together and nintendo still walks tall
saying the 3ds is doing terrible because it didnt outsell ds . is like saying the new england patriots are terrible because they lost the superbowl with a 18-1 recerd
they still finished first in their league (afc) as does nintendo if it out sells the vita so what does it matter if it fails to out do a produdecessor
if we ever used that logic ps3 is a ultimate failure because it did not even sell 70 million which is not even half of ps2s lifetime sales and ps2 still sells lol
so your point that 3ds is doing a psp is so tottaly debunked because i dont think psp sold 16 million in its first year .
cause the ds didnt even sell that much and it ended up out selling psp every month in every territory until recently in japan (only)
so ya . basically
the battle is between 3ds and vita not 3ds and ds .
