3DS is selling BELOW 6 and 7 year old consoles in America and Europe.(PS3 and 360) 3DS sales are decent in Europe and America and amazing in Japan(where it gets the most support). The Vita is selling HORRIBLY. So of course when you compared the 3DS to the Vita, the 3DS looks to be doing very well but you need to look at the bigger picture. |
The bigger picture is the market shrunk because of mobile devices, but seriously... have you looked at the sales numbers from last week? The 3DS is consistently in second place very close to number one. I still think that what western players needed was some assurance of wich platform is gonna win. I think with the Vita faultering, people are choosing the 3DS.
I also doubt that those systems sold much better in their first year. The systems do sell alot on their last years when their cheapest and hit a bigger market segment.
