3DS suffering from Japan decline massively (last year MH released in September which gave the 3DS its highest ever September).
The only silver lining for the 3DS is that they have a strong lineup for the holidays with Smash and Pokemon (Pokemon releasing on Black Friday week should be interesting). Also N3DS will give it a kick in Japan and Australia for this quarter, and they'll be looking forward to it next year. Still a bit more life for this handheld I believe.
Wii U should also be much higher year over year in November and possibly December with MK and Smash combo. Not sure how high the impact will be but I'm sure they'll meet their shipments target imo. Black Friday week is the biggest key. |
3DS has pretty healthy 4th quarter lineup in Japan... Should be no problem to meet if not exceed last year's November/ December sales.
Final Fantasy Heroes
Bravely Second - maybe it's been delayed to 2015? Can't find a specific date
Pokemon Ruby/ Sapphire
I think a lot of people will be purchasing N3DS as a replacement for themselves, and giving their old 3DS to another family member, which should give a nice boost to software sales, both old and new.

I do agree with that but the decline has been mostly from The start of the year and will continue till November. Not sure if it can beat last year, would be great but it's reaching saturation in Japan. I think it will keep having solid sales but nothing spectacular. Btw even with the N3DS it's now lower than last year at the same point in Japan. I do hope it holds better in November though, Youkai and Pokemon should give it a higher baseline.
