ugh...
Since so many of you keep mentioning how 3DS is doing so well and that I'm obviously wrong.
Sales 2011 vs 2012
| Months at Retail | Sales | months@$250 | months@$170 | months@$150 | |
| 2011 | 10 (9 worldwide) | 13,250,062 | 5 | 5 | 0 |
| 2012 | 12 | 13,993,602 | 0 | 11 | 1 |
So, its launch year had a much higher price, on sale for overall fewer months, far fewer game options and still only saw about a 800,000 sales gain?
Another note:
2011 Nov/Dec @$170= 7.101m sold
2012 Nov/Dec @$170 to $150 (w/bundles) =5.788m
3DS is not doing overall as well as you'd think. Its clearly on a diminishing pattern.
