| UncleScrooge said: Bad numbers everywhere. Year over year even the 3DS is down massively despite the redesign: 5 million in 2013 vs 3 million in 2014. Japan has always been the 3DS's strongest market but it will be painful to watch Nintendo's sales in 2015 / 2016 before their next generation of hardware arrives. How are they supposed to make money with the Wii U below 5m and the 3DS probably below 10m in 2015? Vita is painful to watch, too. Japan is its only healthy market and seeing it that low is bad. Wii U is far below Gamecube in yearly sales (GC sold roughly 1m units per year in Japan for most of its life) and that won't change next year. And Xbox One is selling way below what the 360 did in Japan (back when Microsoft really tried to push the system). Market doesn't look healthy right now. |
You make one big mistake about 3DS,New 3ds/xl released on 11th of October,stopped a 50% decline and got 3ds yoy up since its release!New3ds/xl reached 1.238m sales by the end of 2014,surpassed psvita 2014 sales in just two months and a half and surpassed dsi sales in the same time frame...;)
