3DS is still the strongest, but DS has been almost killed far too early, DS alone used to sell better than 3DS+DS combined: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/40405/Global/
PSV in bad shape, but sensibly Sony won't take conclusions in a dead period when its competitor is overkilling anything else with a very important HW launch and many big SW one |
Haven't had this degree of "damage control" feeling from someone's post for a while.
You don't even need to compare the DS to the PSV. That just makes it look worse, but it looks abysmal just as well on it's own.

Damage control? The two statements are totally unrelated, I even made them separated paragraphs.
Read them better, I just compared DS with itself combined with 3DS and nothing else: it's quite evident that a stronger DS could still fill a void that neither PSP nor PSV are filling, whatever their strength or weakness, they just can't cater for Nintendo potential audience, because that audience strongly wants some Ninty exclusives.
I mentioned PSV separately just stating that although it's in a bad shape, any decision rushed now, with 3DS at its best both on the HW and SW front, wouldn't be sensible, as a correct strategy will have to take in account 3DS momentum, not just the strongest boosts.
But nowhere I compared them. Why so insecure?

Very well written but your first post didn't imply this to me. Not insecure at all, it's just you said Sony won't take conclusions during a busy period for the DS, which I would say is drawing a comparison and makes it sound like Sony doesn't need to take action - or possibly won't when the DS starts loosing momentum. You're right though, doing a price cut now would be a very bad idea. That's the case for any console imo at this time of year. May-Aug worst possible time to cut a price and always has been. Late Sep-Oct would be a very good time, and if things haven't improved all but inevitable. Guess we all know that though so I'll shurrup.
