| pezus said: There were pretty much no ads for this pre-release thing except internet hype, plus it's the more expensive console, plus it was a limited release. As much as I like you, I wasn't expecting to read comments from you like you would be happy if Vita was doing bad. Why exactly? OT: 3DS is not doing too good in Europe. I remember seeing DS doing 200k+ all the time in EMEAA and that was its best selling region most weeks I remember. What can Nintendo do now after the price cut? Release new colours (are they on the way?), make a 3DS lite, release a Mario 2D game. |
The next iteration of Pokemon will move over a million hardware units alone.
But Maro Kart and Mario 3D were the two biggest boosters paired with the price drop. That's not something that can be repeated every year.
We'll see more bundles and more colors, but neither will really light sales on fire the way major soft releases will. While a redesign encorporating the 2nd circle pad should be done sooner than later, I'm not convinced that would result in massive sales since most games are designed to work without it anyway. It'll probably be at least another year before we see a redesign.
