| RolStoppable said: The DS LIte was launched, not sure about the exact week in February though. Also, this is basically the starting point from where Nintendo couldn't keep up with production anymore and everything that got shipped sold out in the same week, so if you look at more 2006 numbers, you'll see more crazy fluctuations. The 3DS's current sales of around 70k units per week are pitiful in comparison. It would be great for Nintendo if they could get out SMB 3DS by June (without rushing it, of course). |
Pokemon Grey would be nice as well... but that seems to still be a year away (going by Platinum's release in relation to Diamond/Pearl). But that game alone brings up a few questions. Should there even be a Pokemon Grey? I would think that Nintendo would want Game Freak to bring out a brand new Pokemon game as soon as possible for the 3DS (which goes back to the whole Black/White releasing on the DS so close to the 3DS' launch. I suppose Nintendo wanted more software sales than more 3DS sales.)
Although if they did release a Pokemon Grey, I would hope that it would be for the 3DS and use its features in a meaningful way (including the superior hardware). Could be the first time since Yellow that I bought a 'Special Edition' of the mainline franchise.
Also, this whole '2D Mario for the 3DS' kinda has me questioning what Nintendo is planning for the Wii U launch. I thought for sure that New Super Mario Bros. Mii was part of something bigger for the Wii U, but now that 3DS is getting a 2D Mario this year... I have my doubts that Wii U will be launching with one too. I doubt Nintendo wants two different 2D Mario's on the shelf at the exact same time. Or do they? O_o
