Um.....

Did R4 really hurt 3DS sales that much? Last I checked Pokemon, Mario, Dragon Quest, and Zelda all sold very very well.

I dunno if the Nintendo demograph is really affected much by piracy.


R4 killed DS software sales in Europe. By like a lot.

No, Nintendo's shitty release schedule for Europe and the fact that DS games here are stupidly overpriced is what killed software sales in Europe for many games, by time Pokemon games would release here could import english versions from abroad for a fraction of the price, ebay was littered with imports.  The day Pokemon platinum released here for £35 in shops you could get it from ebay for £15.

Well Pokemon Platinum still sold about 4 million units in Europe, which isn't bad. What about Pokemon Black/White? It sold just over half a million units.

BTW, would a worldwide simultaneous release for Pokemon X/Y sold sales problems in Europe?
