Handheld has just reduced in popularity and is now resereved mainly for the core gamer. ALthough in the last 2/3 weeks I think the 3DS has finally passed the threshold where people look at its library and go "yeah, theres enough to entertain me". We've seen it sell 40-50k consistently. Nothings wrong with nintendo's main teams still being in Japan, mario kart, smash bros, 3d mario and zelda all appeal to the average western gamer anyway. Having a fee more european/NA teams would definitely help though and be a worth while investment. As a whole the problem with the Wii U is that lacked games, which will soon change. But also people were cautious that it would lack next gen 3rd part support because of its power. As a result I think very few have interest in it, but once nintendo strongest IPs are out and teh system is cheap, I think many harcore gamers will pick up a wii U as a secondary console. This winter it will do very well with parents purchasing games for young kids (Mario Kart, Windwaker HD, Luigi, Kirby and mario+sonic at the olympics). |
Actually the 3DS has sold more in its first 1 month then the first 1 month sales of the DS & first 1 month sales of the GameBoy Advance.
And same goes for first 3 months comparison.
And first 6 months
First 12 months
18 months
24 months
You get the idea.
And the 3DS has 1 less holiday in the same point of life spam. Well it's half a holiday less then the DS had during the same point of life spam.
