You mention NPD and then say Nintendo are the only ones to do it right with 3DS...uhm, OK. Not only does 3DS not sell very well in USA, but the USA is not the world either. Go to boxofficemojo and see how the "outside world" is getting ever more important. USA's decline in buying consoles won't matter on the whole (if sales even decline - there's nothing to suggest that), since other markets will rise up to pick up the scraps. |
Several months Ago the 3DS had sold 9 million in Japan, while it had also sold 8 million in America in that same month, even though Japanese got a 1 month head start which gave them the advantage.
Next time don't assume something just because of different events, which have nothing to do with this other event. (hope you get the metaphor)
I use to assume the PS Vita had a big gap in its favor just because of the PSP vs. DS, but then in March 2012 I found out it only had 17.7 million more polygons, and that the CPU in both systems are underclock near the same clock speeds.
I later on in 2012 found out that the 3DS had way more shader cores & triangles and that the 3DS did more in the post processing of its camera footage. So the hardware in both Handhelds are mix-match.
So I know what it's like to assume stuff that seems to be true, but recently found out that it's best to research the current stuff before assuming next time. Which is something I will be doing from now on after the past couple of years.

What are you talking about. Nintendo themselves have admitted this. Selling less in America, a far larger market than Japan, is not good sales in America. Japan is almost single-handedly carrying 3DS, both with sales and support.

the day that Nintendo reported the 3DS had sold 9 million in Japan is around the same day that VGChartz reported that the 3DS sold 8 million in America.
But yeah the Japanese sales are greater.
BTW, are you gonna see that stereoscopic 3D Movie; Thor the Dark World?
