Are they THAT desperate to sell software? I mean, those games are to supposed to be good enough to sell by themselves, right?

Yep Nintendo is super desperate to sell their games. That's why Luigi's Mansion 2 is going for 56€ instead of 40€ on amazon.de. Nobody wants it.

It's just that giveways of such recent releases are not commonplace. I sense some panic mode here imho. Such plan implies that they don't expect the average 3DS owner to buy more than 2 games in that period (hence they offer a 4th one at 3 purchases) : this must be behind their objectives. And last Xmas in France they were giving a free digital copy of Professor Layton 5 for every purchase of the system. Such agressive marketing clearly suggest they're in a though spot with 3DS in the West.

They really do want those sales in the West. But not really tough spot, just not very satisfied with the sales. Really, this is pushing people to tryDLed games more than anything else. If they can get people to regularly DL games that means massive profit in the long run.

Wondering where a similar promotion is for NA though. I guess the XL + game promotion was it.
