But why? Smash came out early September.


2 days of Sept NPD (oct 3rd release)

Oh well, it's a potenial. Still not sure that's even a "big thing" or that 3DS sales would rise 50%+ (to beat XB1, woulld need to double to touch PS4).


Not saying i think 3ds will be up especially 50%, but npd last month (i might be wrong, off memory) had reported 3ds sales jumped up huge that final week when SSB released, which would be 2 days off of Sept NPD. I think 3ds had over 100k last month right?

91k to 140k. Given it's a 5 week month if it maintaned August's weekly average it'd have done 114k. So a 26k rise, wouldn't say that's huge ... of course the average may have gone down but it generally doesn't in September.

 

Though Aug was a 4 week month and Sept a 5 week month, 3ds jumped 55% Month over Month. (91k⇒140k) (which you did say)

Only game to come out to do that was SSB and that came out in the last 2 days for Sept NPD. August avg 22.7k a week, so if Sept avg about the same (lets say 20k per week) intill the final week, it should be over 60k on Smash launch week. I can see Oct first week or 2 being high for 3ds :)

I think its more like a 40k-42k jump then a 26k one!
