March 2007 NPD - Nintendo DS - 508k April 2007 NPD (release of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl) Nintendo DS - 471k Probably just more statistical noise than anything, but I'd also venture a guess that a lot of Pokemon fans are the same fans that are into Mario, Zelda, and other Nintendo IP (makes sense). They don't just sit there waiting years and years for Pokemon proper to come out. Of course the 3DS could only dream of putting up 400k+ in a month these days in any month outside of the holidays. |
Yea, well 3DS probably will never be as dominate in sales as the DS. However, the 3DS should enjoy a pretty damn good year. Sales might not explode till holiday season but it has a decent lineup during the spring and summer months to keep the sales going. I'd be amazed if 3DS ends down YOY in North America.
