AFTER 95 WEEKS OF SALES DATA, THE 3DS IS STILL OUTPACING THE SALES OF ITS PREDECESSOR, THE DS

To date, the 3DS has sold 25,243,576 units, or 265,722 per week.

It's predecessor - the DS, now officially the best selling dedicated gaming console in history, over its first 95 weeks, sold - 25,108,337 units or 264,298 per week.

Now - tell me, anyone please dare to TELL ME - how can you explain this, how can this be true, if the widespread assumption that iOS and Android mobile devices (which there are orders of magnitude more of than dedicated handheld gaming consoles), are slowly but surely killing the dedicated console market?

The simple truth is - IT'S NOT. It's all a big illusion, in our short-sighted obsession with iPhones, Apple, and Google.

The 3DS is outpacing the DS - even though in the DS's time, there were ZERO Smart-Phones or Tablets. Uh, say what? In your f-a-a-a-a-ce Angry Birds. The 3DS is still beating the DS even in the more crowded Tech world, the more crowded handheld space, and the more crowded gaming world.

Shit yeah.
