The 3DS is on fire right now, and with so many heavy hitters to come this year, its going to be an absolute monster this holiday season. And this from a system that at one point was labelled "doomed." It goes to show, never judge a system by its opening.


It sold more its first month then any other video game system ever has. Same goes for first 6 months & first 12 month sales.

And the Wii U sold more in its first month then almost any home console, but of course the Wii sold even more it's first month.

I think the first 1 month sales say a lot, and same goes for first 6 month sales, and first 12 month sales & first 18 month sales & first 2 years sales.

3DS sales before its price cut were below expectations, hence the reason for the cut itself, and Wii U sales at the moment are pretty dismal. The 3DS exploded once it got compelling software though, and Wii U should show improvement once the big hitters arrive also.

It was below expectation, but above all other gaming systems sales for same period. And that's before price cut.

But yeah, software is all that matters to most of us western gamers, luckily for Nintendo.


Where in the world are you getting that from? 3DS was not the best selling system at any point in any region within the first year, except for Japan. Same for Wii U in first month sales.

Also, you have ridiculously high expectations for Luigi's Mansion. 10m lifetime? Cmon dude. Just be glad that it is selling reasonably well.

3DS NA sales this week is probably just a case of VGC making up for horribly undertaking it these past few months.
