People trying to compare the 3DS to the DS are setting themselves up for failure. The DS is the highest selling handheld of all time, so obviously anything that comes after will seem lackluster. Considering the 3DS is now competing with the booming mobile market consisting of phones and tablets, it's doing extremely well for itself. In fact, it's doing on par with other Nintendo handhelds like the GameBoy. Just not the DS, clearly. |
Nobody is comparing it to DS, the OP is comparing 2014 sales to 2013 sales. YOY, 3DS is showing a very large drop, 2013-14.4 million vs 2014-9.5ish million. That's down about 35% YoY which is pretty significant.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
