I know what it means in science terms. Negative means it's negative for the system and Nintendo, as in: the momentum isn't there

I don't know why you're arguing over semantics though. The point still stands: that 3DS sales are falling and not rising

I am arguing over semantics because if you are going to go into a thread devoted to a Nintendo Direct only to be a wet blanket, the least you can do is make lexical sense.

You can pretend that you understand what momentum means and how to use it in the English language, but you are wrong. Negative momentum doesn't make any sense, it would imply that the number of total sold units is going down, as in the install base is contracting, but you still wouldn't call that negative momentum. So, the next time you want to come in and pee on a Nintendo parade, just keep that in mind.

Like I said: I understand what it means.

But please carry on then, your holiness.

Ok, so you seriously think that there are more people returning their 3DS's for a refund or store credit in North America than people who buy a new system?

Where is the data to support such a nonsensical claim?
