| zorg1000 said: Kinect released in 2010 yet 2011 was a stronger year for 360. Also PS3 peaked in 2011 not 2010. Ur not factoring in that 3DS has room for price cuts as well. Its been over 2 years since the original 3DS had a price cut and the XL has yet to see its first price cut. 2014 will be the first full year of having a $129 sku and 2015 could easily see price cuts for all 3 models to $99/129/149. Also there are games like Smash Bros, Kirby, Yoshis New Island, Mario 3D Land 2, Pokemon Z, Pokemon gen 3 remake, Pokemon gen 7, Dragon Quest 11, Monster Hunter 5, Final Fantasy remakes/spinoffs, Majoras Mask 3D, Advance Wars, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus sequel, Resident Evil sequel, Kingdom Hearts sequel and other games that could potentially release from 2014-2016 that could cause sales to increase. |
First, not all of those games will push systems. Secondly, those games won't push as much as their first outing on the system.
Let's look at the facts though - the 3DS needs to sell close to 10M from October to December or sales will down YoY.
