We all know that 3DS is doing phenomanal in Japan. It's even broken a few records for it's sales. But why does America not give the 3DS this love? Why aren't the sales as good as Japan's Is it the Games, the Design, the Marketing, or even the Fact that it is made by Nintendo? What and why do you think the 3DS is doing so well in Japan but not America? |
I think the Title of the post is misleading. The 3DS has sold about 6.3 million units in Japan compared to 5.7 million units in the US. You are talking about the difference of about half a million units after only 1 year on the market. I wouldn't call owning 89% of this generation's handheld gaming market in the US as not doing too well. A year out from release, I think the 3DS is doing just fine. And, it's not solely because of the price cut that it is selling well this year. Clearly, more games that people wanted started to become available late last year. If you could save a flopping device simply by dropping the price, the Nokia N-Gage would still be on the market.
