Games and price cuts were, the price cuts may not have even been neccesary if it had no 3D and was therefore cheaper to start with. Also you say children wanted the 3D feature. Even though it says it shouldn't be used for children and there were a few big stories about that before release? |
Nope the Nintendo 3DS shipped 3.61 million in its 1st month, which is really impressive.
Nintendo just overestimated how they would shipped by 0.39 million. They had even more higher hopes then high hopes for the handheld launch.
The 3DS released on February instead of November. But once it reached its first Holiday, it got its first Holiday's sales.
