That's true, but wouldn't January and February still have been pretty barren? There's some multiplat Nintendo could have needed...

Yeah, but relative to the other systems, it probably would have been able to keep up in sales at least instead of being at the 30k per week range.

Probably. But I still think it goes to show that Nintendo didn't learn the important lesson with the 3DS launch.


I think the point is much more clear with the Wii U, given that the price isn't over-inflated.  Nintendo most likely was just assuming games like Nintendo Land and NSMBU were going to keep the system afloat during the relatively slow months.

However, I do not really know how possible it would have been to release amazing games within the time frame unless they planned for it since before the 3DS launch.  But either way, if Nintendo was paying attention they should be able to do better when the next opportunity presents itself.  Which is pretty much every day before the other consoles launch.
