Well I'm still skeptical since the 3DS already has sequels to the games that made the DS a massive success. And as I said earlier, the DS sold abnormally well outside of the holidays, which the 3DS has yet to do. Last thing to add, it's still early, but I feel if New Super Mario Bros. 2 doesn't make the 3DS sell 200k plus a week outside of holidays, then I don't think the 3DS will outsell the DS (Will still sell a butt load). |
@underlined. Very true. Yet, a few are still unreleased, namely NSMB and Brain Training. Nintendogs has, that is true.
@bold. True, but only after 2006. I'm expecting that to happen after this holiday season boom for the 3DS. If that doesn't happen, then I'm afraid your last sentence may be right.
For the DS trend, here it is:
It's really amazing how in 2006, as of NSMB's launch (March in japan and june in the west) the DS sales became strong year-round like you say. I'm hoping august and holiday season 2012 will have the same effect for 3DS. As for Nintendogs, it was released for the DS in Apr to Oct of 2005, and Brain Age was launched in May 2005 in Japan and Apr 2006 in the West. They were crucial in the success of the DS, but the trend above shows NSMB, as the clear heavy-hitter for DS.
