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. |
Peak years? Hahahahahaha. DS was just getting started in 2006. Take a gander at '07-'10 if you don't believe me. But by all means, if you want to go back to '05, do so. Feel free to incorporate GBA sales into your comparison -- I think it sold about 8 mil hardware in '05. About three times what the DS will sell this year.
There's no perfect timing comparison, since 2005 represents months 3-15 for DS while 2012 represents months 12-23 for 3DS. The Lite came out in '06, the 3DS XL in '12. I think the comparison works for these purposes. Vita timing is more comparable to 2005. How about a compromise: PSP sales in 2005 + DS/GBA sales in 2006?
