Even though the 3DS and DS are about Neck and neck with hardware sales, the 3DS is behind by 25 million in software!

Three things:

1 - DS had two christmas.
2 - There's some really heavy hitters coming
3 - 3DS won't ever be the DS - the Cooking Mama age is past.

They are going to have to find some new stuff to lure people in then. The casuals will always be there. Right now they are picking up every tablet in the world as if they were about to be endangered. I think a new Pokemon game would be the only thing to make a lasting effect on sales. Mario is great and all, but Pokemon is what gets people talking.

 

3. But the hardware sales are pretty close. I think at this point the DS may be just a little bit ahead.

The whole data you're using for this thread is wrong, check my post again.

Did you just use gaf anything with me? I go by what Vgchartz says. Still off by 10 million.

It's not gaf, it's nintendo's official numbers.

Well, like I said, one christmas less, and probably a huge collection of big games coming soon, plus digital sales, as manuel said, will put 3DS in a better view.

BTW... at the same time frame (6 quarters) DS had 60.44 million software shipped (check the the link again), less than 3DS. The whole thread is wrong, Ryan.
