| kirby007 said: it needs around 1.6 mil to match last december, but due to higher trending sales since 2ds launch i conclude we have some serious undertracking last week dec +- 700k first week jan +-500k ( includes few days of dec) so were down atleast 400k-700k |
Pezus mentioned it several times, but are you factoring in the fact that it is down so much in Japan? In just the first three weeks of December it is down over 410k. It will probably be over 500k for the full month. More if we are counting into the first week of January.
Three weeks in, VGC has the 3DS down 345k, which means it is up outside of Japan by about 65k so far (actually a little higher when using VGC numbers rather than Media Create for Japan). That total outside Japan is currently 2.12m. If we use your 700k and 500k for the next two weeks and assume Japan will be down ~150k, that brings the total outside JP to about 2.92m. That is already up about 240k YoY, and then you expect as much as 700k (maybe more since you said at least) more on top of that? That would be up more than 35% YoY outside of Japan.
While we don't really have much actual data for December outside of Japan, the 3DS hasn't really been tearing it up on European software charts.
