| Soundwave said: I think yeah I'd wait and see how it does with NSMB2, that said, I do tend to think the smart phone boom has really impacted Europe in a big, big way and that's going to constrict the sales of any gaming-only handheld device from here on out there. Japan is a different beast from Europe/US because people in Japan use handhelds as their primary game console period, that really is not the case in the West. |
If smartphone-boom is to blame for bad handheld sales, it's impact should be the same the week before the launch and the launch-week. But sales of 3DS without XL were stronger compared with Japan, than the launch-week of XL was (also compared ith Japan). That's what buggers me. So smartphone-boom only impacts sales of 3DS XL in Europe, not sales of normal 3DS?
