At last weeks sales rate, it would take 24 more weeks to pass the 4 million mark, for a total of 44 weeks. That's a far cry from "several months". As for the 3DS, it is at 2.5 million this year. In comparison, the DS did 5.8 million in the same time frame in 2007. The DS went on to sell 29.5 million that year. For the week ending April 7, 2007 the DS sold 389,805. That more than triple what the 3DS did last week. The DS only dipped below 389k twice for the rest of the year. It's unlikely that Animal Crossing or Pokemon will have this impact when NSMB, Mario Kart, Brain Training, Nintendogs, and 3D Mario didn't do it. |
By 2007 the DS had been out for 3 years, while the 3DS has only been out for 2 years. So you have to use DS during 2006 by April.
