The leading haldheld, the 3DS only did 250k the sdame week. Yes, it is something to be proud of. Those sales are incredibly high for "dead" handheld. |
It's also impressve because quite a few of the larger stores had the 3DS for $150 (saw one store had it for $135), bundled with a Mario game. For Vita, most the bundles were for $30-$50 more expensive and came with AC: Liberation, which is not exactly on Mario's level, saleswise. So, overall, not bad. Next year the normal price for a Vita will probably drop to $199, so we may see Black Friday deals for ~$150. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top that year.
@ OP
Great PS3 numbers! So, even on the biggest sales week for the holiday in America , the 360's turf, the PS3 looks like it may very well be only ~100K-150K fewer in sales WW. Last year, the WW gap was closer to 500K. I think this just re-enforces the fact that the PS3 will be 2nd place shortly, probably before the PS4 and NeXbox launch. Only, now I'm thinking the 360 won't be able to reclaim 2nd again for a short while during next year's holiday season. Especially with PS3 bundles for ~$150.
