3ds and 2ds steam rolling the competition

LOL, yeah take that 8 year old 360 and 7 year old PS3! And Vita (lol). 

The competetion is really weak for the time being. 

450k is still an excellent number for the month of October. It also proves that the 2DS is actually helping a lot the 3ds overall sales.

Well yeah. I think this is the peak performance for the system, it's Nintendo basically throwing every possible thing they can to move 3DS -- 3D Pokemon, new model revision, and X/Y bundles too (don't forget those) in the same month. 

The crazy thing is the DS put up numbers like this is just a regular October, lol, it's insane how much harder Nintendo has to work to get similar numbers even for one month. 

I actually think that it is the 2DS that actually boosted NA and European numbers at both 140k and 150k+ respectively and I would not be surprised if we see a huge change in the baseline of NA and European sales for the 3DS-2DS in 2014. I think the new baseline will be 80-100k for both of those territories next year which would be a huge plus for 3ds sales and could actually put 2014 as a whole up YOY once again. 

Just my little prediction :D.
