3DS is selling great(better then the DS at the same time in the lifecycles -21 months-).

With a price cut, it will sell even better, possibly skyrocket. People need to stop propagating this myth that the gaming handheld market is declining.

Combine DS + PSP sales in 2006. Compare them to 3DS + Vita + DS + PSP sales in 2012. Let me know what you get, because I didn't do the math myself.

For added fun, compare software sales as well.

Lol you bring up the peak years?

why not bring up 2005 Psp + DS  not that big of difference if not lower.

if don't remember correctly around this saw time DS was doing good but not better 3ds currently and Psp was dead in America.

but it's not fair to put 2012 vita sales because its the only handheld to undersell its former system.

but yea your comparison was horrible because your faster forwarding DS to when it had about 2 years which means it had more games.
