March 2011 is when the 3DS was launch. Can I see March 2005? Plus I wouldn't count March 2014 out with a even greater 3D Library in both 3DS games for handhelds and 3D Movies for entertainment via Hulu Plus & eShop by then. |
Yes, I know it launched that month. It doesn't detract from any points I'm making though.
I don't have the full numbers for March 2005, but the PSP did 620k. The GBA and DS shipped 1.39 million to the Americas in the Jan-Mar 2005 quarter, but I can't say for certain what their sell through was in the US for the month of March.
Even if the 3DS doubled next March, the handheld market would still be down sharply from its peak. 3D becoming a major selling point three years after launch, and more than four years after Avatar just doesn't seem likely. The Vita would need to rise from its grave to reach the numbers the handheld market was doing before 2012.
