From your thread @ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=141085

The 3DS is just fine in the West, but as scrooge said it so well, more Western handheld games would boost the system. It's being flooded in Japan with great SW, now the same needs to happen stateside and in Europe imho.

Plus, the DS gets a major boost in 2006, 1 to 2 years after launch, so if the 3DS wants to track as well, it needs to improve as the DS did

Juts updated that... looks worse now. lol

Anyway you think that shows the Vita is doing ok in the west????  Weird. 

You do realise the 3DS sales take off big time after the price cut...  Is the VITA getting a price cut?

edit.. sorry I got confued, thought you were talking about the Vita...  yeah 3DS is ok in the west since its price cut

These charts only show the first 30 weeks of a unit that has been out almost twice that long (3DS).

DIdn't Nintendo announced using NPD data that the 3DS eclipsed the first year sales of the DS in the US. If that is the case, the 3DS numbers must be pretty good. But for it to go gang-busters, it will need a Pokemon jump in Year 2.
