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.


I meant that the Vita has half its weekly sales in Japan, and that Japan numbers are greatly affecting the 3DS global numbers as well.

Yes, I said despite the N3DS, the N3DS launching in the West has failed to increase global sales this week and make up for lost traction in Japan and it is still my belief that we'll see the same thing that has happened in Japan happen here as well. And that is why I think it will be down yoy for 2015.
