It's already behind PSV's weekly pace, as you can see in the YOY comparison I posted above. I wouldn't bet against it. Nintendo owns Japan, eh? |
Nintendo killed DS sales in Japan to sell the 3DS, and it was a resounding success, but only after a major price drop to the point of losing money per console, and ambassador program.
Nintendo killed Wii sales in Japan to sell the WiiU, and have failed thus far... but I'm sure there will be a price drop and another ambassador program soon. This will be more financially difficult, however, since the Wii U is already a net loss per console sold, and Iwata even hinted that this problem could not be solved until 2014.
Nintendo's "domination" of Japan actually totters on a razor thin line that is highly reliant on overseas profits, which have been struggling due to lower than expected 3DS sales. The LDP's recent monetary policies to weaken the yen have been extremely beneficial to the company, however.
