It's still up YoY where the New 3DS just released (America/Europe) it's only down in Japan where New 3DS has been available for 6 months and this week last year got a large boost due to being the last week before the tax hike in Japan.


Yes, but Japan is affecting global numbers a great deal, same with Vita; it has about half its sales in one region.

If the N3DS effect in Japan faded so quickly; it will do the same in the West, which are even weaker markets for handhelds, and what's happening in Japan is bound to happen in other markets as well, hence why I'm expecting it to keep on dropping. All in all; I believe it will de down about 15% yoy when is said and done for 2015.


No Japan does not make up nearly half of 3DS sales, it's more like 35%, Japan-18.5 million, Total-52 million.

U said it was down YOY despite New 3DS releasing a few weeks ago, I was simply pointing out that's not true in areas where it recently released.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
