Hmm...I wouldn't say sales are improving. Wait until mid-August when NSMB2 and the 3DS XL launches and we'll be back to where we were beforehand. Like, 6-7k or so...



If the PSV's sales do drop in August, that still wouldn't negate the fact that they are improving now. I don't understand your logic.

I'm saying it's a short effect. Yes, it's improving now (but the numbers are still horrific), but when it does decrease to below 10k, people will forget about this slight boost. Sorta like the Wii price-cut last year. Sure, sales were increased, but I wouldn't say the situation improved. That has to be a long-term effect, and it's too early to tell that yet.



But they still are improving, which is the complete opposite of your first sentence in the post I quoted.

No, they're increasing (though they'll have gone down again this week and dropped WW WoW by 25%, to below 48k, it's second lowest-ever figure, so that's hardly an increase), but not improving. An improvement is a long-term thing, whereas an increase is a short-term thing. We can't tell if the situation is improving, if it can't sustain sales for a fair few months. So the 3DS' situation has improved, because it's a long-term effect.
