Quite dissapointed really. Didnt expect the 3ds to dip like ot has this month. This is the second month running luigi has been pretty heavily undertracked now. Around 85k last month and 100k this month. Pokemon cant come soon enough because now i dont even think donkey kong will have that much of an effect on hardware. I suppose animal crossing is the next genuine hardware seller.

The combination of Donkey Kong/Animal Crossing/Mario & Luigi shpuld keep sales pretty solid for the next few months then beast mode once Pokemon hits and Zelda will help too.

Hopefully the mix of those games will help, especially animal crossing. Still dont see donkey kong doing much though. Will be interesting to see what the numbers are when pokemon is released. If it does not get a sustained boost after the mulitude of games this year then i dont think it ever will.
