Bad numbers. Especially 3DS.

Black Friday week 2011: 495,944
Black Friday week 2012: 250,000

OUCH.

Oh and the DS sold 275k. I can't help but think there is consumer confusion out there.

Wii U sales are DECENT. Not surprising it didn't match Wii sales. Next week it should have a sharp drop. These week 1 sales have months and months of pre-orders. So from 400k, I expect next week sales to be about 200k. Give or take.


says the boy who worships the Playstation brand!!!  I wonder how your Vita sales are gonna be?

I don't worhsip anything. How will Vita sales be? Hopefully around the 100k mark.


So in short, you mean below the 3DS or DS.   Thank you that's all.

Of course. But Vita doesn't need to outsell those to be successful.

LOL, Vita is a disaster all around, the goal posts have to be moved so far back to define whatever it is that defines "success" now.

3DS sales are bad, no wonder Nintendo dropped the price.

I think the launch of the iPad mini this year has hurt handhelds in North America, the mini tablets are really going to be popular with younger kids, which is mostly where the market for the 3DS/Vita has left. Adults are done with dedicated handhelds outside of a small niche.

Wii U stock does seem to be tight, but I think this time Nintendo shipped about right on to where demand was. Wii in 2006 ... they easily could've sold double what they shipped. GameCube sold 660k or whatever in November 2001 (launch), I don't think Wii U will match that.
