Nah. But even if it does, it doesn't mean anything. There will always be idiots like me who will point out that the numbers are unnaturally inflated by poeple double dipping. |
Yes, double dipping isnt heard of for Home Consoles and other HH's? I think many will over exaggerate 3ds's numbers. Sold=Sold. People upgrade all the time, do you think ps2 actually was in 155mil homes owned by 155mil different people for example? :0

This is different. New SKUs usually don't deliver more features or exclusive games. That's why no one does double dip on them. The exception being defect consoles and environment conscious people with too much money. There was just no reason for someone who owned a launch PS2 or PS3 to "upgrade" to a flimsy mini version of the same thing. If anything all these slim versions deliver even less features than the launch versions.
The new 3DS has exclusive games that all fans of these games will prompt to double dip. A group that is arguably a lot bigger than the aforementioned.
You just love to compare things that have no similarities do you?

So every N3DS owner is getting XC right? I mean looking at japan sales, im sure all 230k double dipped for N3DS exclusive titles that haven't released at all (and just 1 being a Wii Port).
Its the same argument with Double SKU games, Not even close to half the people double dip for those. (,Pokemon)

Wait what? Now you're just imagining words I never said. I highlighted the important bits for you.
I said that the number of people who double dip on a device with new features(like exclusive content) is much higher than the number of people who double dip for a device that has less features(like removing backwards compatibility). And those numbers differ too much to be compared in any feasible way.
Maybe you have an estimate for the percentage of people who double dip on a regular slim SKU with no additional features.
