Pokemon on DS actually didn't cause any hardware boost, I looked it up and 3DS sales actually went down slightly the month Pokemon launched. Pokemon fans tend to be Nintendo fans, they don't just sit there waiting for Pokemon to come out, they're interested in Mario too. |
Like I said before DS was already selling over 400k per month in the US alone, theres only so much a system can sell in a given amount of time. 3DS is selling much lower than that so it has room for a boost, which Pokemon will give.
Also month for month it was down but every week in April 07 was going down then Pokemon released the last week of the month and sales increased 35%, it didnt give a hige boost but it kept sales from continuing to drop
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
