Week 40!
DS 06 -- 125,392
3DS 13 --120,325
We're entering the home stretch, the final thirteen weeks of the year. For the DS, this is the week following the storm; for the 3DS, it's the week before. No major titles were released this week for either console. DS sales fall in the wake of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl's release, while 3DS sales drop slightly in anticipation of Pokemon X and Y's release. The two are shockingly close in sales considering their placement on opposite ends of the release of their respective Pokemon titles.
Week 41 preview: DS sales fall 20k further with no new major releases. 3DS sales are bolstered to over 200k by the release of Pokemon X and Y. This decreases the gap between the two consoles by more than 100k.
The tally thus far:
DS 06 -- 5,953,134
3DS 13 -- 3,313,741
Adv DS +2,707,054
