3DS Down only 10% YoY (724k vs 656k)

10% is a lot considering it got it's final revision released late last year (early october was it?), but not a lot considering it's in it's 5th year, and nearing the end of its life. Hmmm. What a conundrum.

 

Seriously though, I think it'll be down quite a lot YoY come N3DS launch, as it won't have the N3DS launch to provide a good boost (duh).

Yeah but most of that effect should of been 2014, which stopped a major decline (would of been down 50%+). Yeah its in the mid ground of good/bad. Its holding up, which was its job. Imagine if there werent a revision?Also 2015 games haven't even come yet. Only like 2-3 decent games came out this year for 3ds, 1 really huge game (LoZ)

Well of course (be down when N3ds launches), but as of now its holding. Last year 3ds sold 3.1mil, i dont think many expected 3ds to hold a 2mil in its 5th year prior to n3ds release, in fact if n3ds didnt launch i think it be about 2.1mil for 2014 and about 1.2-1.3mil for 2015.
