Sometimes it's fun watching the disbelief at how well the 3DS is doing. Usually it's obnoxious scrolling through all the Wii U hate... like the latest Famitsu thread. 360 and PS3 are fairly predictable at this point. |
Well there is certainly disbelief, but I'm not sure it's coming from the people you think it is. We're talking about a system that is down YoY, with several months pretty near 100k. The PSP was 24.2% higher in 2007, 46.4% higher in 2008, and the 3DS only beat the 2009 numbers by 3.5%. The DS of course was in a completely different league. 2009 in particular saw sales more than four times higher than 3DS sales in 2013. 07/08/10/11 were all more than double.
