One reason I think is that Japan likes Nintendo more than America does. Another thing is that I think here in North America, people are more likely to blindly support the system with better specs and write off the other system as a failure, without even considering the systems capabilities. This means "PS Vita is better in every way, 3DS sucks because the PS Vita is so much stronger and the PSP is probably stronger too." I've seen it everywhere and lots of people in person think that, too. This group may be relatively small in comparison to the whole community of gamers, but it definitely seems more prevalent here.
I also agree that localization of games should occur more often, as well as globalized releases that it seems Luigi's Mansion will be getting. I think those promote sales, as well as special bundles and designs for the 3DS. |
Let's look at the past few generations and their sales victors in America:
5th: PS1
6th: PS2
7th: Wii
Now, just out of those 3 examples, none have been the strongest system in their generation. Vita sales certainly aren't strong in the west, so that's not a significant factor affecting 3DS sales. You basically just made a fairly long post which amounted to "derp derp derp."

Seriously, none of you are getting what my post meant. I am not giving one cause to the difference, I'm saying that it is a collection of reasons, and that there are people who don't buy the system because of A, B, and C. I even stated that the group of people who did it are likely small in comparison to the gaming community. Everyone acts like I'm being a retard and stating that the reason sales are worse here is that people only buy for power. I never said that, and I KNOW that already about the best selling systems are not the most powerful ones.
