Lanceuppercut said: Weak North American numbers for FEB+week 1. Much better Euro numbers than I expected. It launched lower than 3DS worldwide though. If it can't match what the 3DS was doing at $250 I doubt it's going to have any sort of legs. I expect a fairly rapid decline in NA/PAL sales much like what we saw in Japan. |
I don't understand this logic. You really expect a successor to a handheld that sold 21M in the US to open the same as a handheld that sold 55M in the US, not to mention expect a 21M handheld in EU to sell the same as a handheld that sold 51M in EU. Also do not forget you are expecting a handheld that sold 19M in Japan to sell the same as a handheld that sold 33M.
You expected the same opening for a 73M handheld successor to that of a 151M handheld's successor.
The fact that they are even close at opening week says a lot.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
