Ufff 3ds..., i don't remember being so low in years in Japan....I thought i knew why people didn't buy home consoles in Japan was because they were buying handhelds instead, but now........., even handhelds sell badly. Every gamer in Japan just disappeared or what????, everyone there just play on mobiles????
I wish i could say all these low sales right now were because people are awaiting PS4 release but i'm afraid that would be lying to myself. |
to add:
i can get handhelds doing poorly in the west,.. smart devices are killing them. but, to the best of my cultural understanding, i didn't think mobile games were as popular in japan.
not going to lie, all of these numbers suck.

Afaik mobile gaming pretty much exploded last year in Japan (+ over 50%), making it the largest market for mobile games/apps (larger than US).

orly? i didn't hear that. well that probably explains (in part) why 3DS is dropping soo fast. if sony/nintendo are making next gen handhelds they damn well better be capable of making phone calls or they'll be DoA.
