going to one store doesn't back up why it sold lower. 3DS has been undertracked ever month in US by over 30k at least (Sept looks like maybe over 60k) so my arguement makes sense dont you think? Pokemon had over 1mil sales while luigi mansion2/AC new leaf had less than 400k FW but had higher 3DS sales? Yeah right. wait intill next NPD and 3DS might be undertracked by another 50k-80k.

 

At least i have 5 months of undertracked to supprt this thread

Dude calm down, you seem a bit irritated. I never said that it was definitely as low as 73K, I was just pointing out that Pokemon probably didn't do amazingly well to move hardware in NA since it didn't even do amazingly well even in Pokemon country (Japan). I do find it strange that 73K was all it did, considering how the 2DS also released. But, what were you expecting exactly? How about you predict what the October NPD will show? D/P release month had 471K DS systems in April 2007, and B/W's release of March 2011 had 460K DS systems sold. Can 3DS push at least 400K at all in October to at least be in the vicinity of the hardware sales that D/P and B/W moved? 

 

It's your fault for relying on this site for factual information about hardware sales.
