| Train wreck said: So for the month of may 2011 the 3DS brought in 24.1 million dollars in revenue with no price cut and really no games. The month of may 2012, with a lower price (40%), 2 main line mario games, 3rd party out the ass, a peripheral, hardware revenue dropped to 19.8 million dollars, selling only about 20k more units That's truly scary. |
Is that a napkin calculation or do you have a link? It strikes me as correct off the top of my head but I haven't seen those numbers anywhere.
I think it's fairly conceivable that 3DS does only 1/2 to 2/3 what DS did in the West (DS is at 120m in the West), and 75-85% of what it did in Japan (DS is at 33m in Japan). That'd be 72m West / 28m Japan roughly.
