I've read this a lot of times by now. 500k a month is cute. What's going to happen this December when the 3DS is averaging over a million per week? |
Besides the fact that the 3DS won't average more than a million per week in the US, the best case scenario would be briefly catching back up before the DS 2007 holidays hit. After that, the 3DS would need to sell ~4.95 million in Jan-April 2014 to keep pace with the DS.
In the 29th month, the DS widened the gap by 359k. The next two months will probably increase that at least another 500k. Even October with Pokemon will probably have a rough time matching the 561k that the DS did in June 2007. November and December will need to be at least 2.8 million to get close to the DS again. Seems like a tall order when a price cut, 3D Mario, and Mario Kart couldn't even achieve those numbers.
