| Ryng_Tolu said: PR said sold, but it's 99.99% shipped. There were 58.85 million 3DS sold in as for March 31. This mean that Nintendo has sold in a minimum of 1.15 million 3DS this quarter, and that's number will be even bigger in the quarter report since there are still 4 weeks of sales. What really impressed me is that last year 3DS shipped 1.01 million that quarter, which mean they are gonna be up YOY by a good margin... well, didn't expect that. |
It's self-evident but I will cite it in the title.!
Yeah, it shockingly unexpected... And it's not only yoy up , it's also qoq up in a weaker sales quarter, with three or fours weeks left for new shipments! O_O
Plus Japan, where 3ds sales currently are mediocre but justifiable for this time period! West must be closing the gap with Japan, which is great if it's happening!
3DS sales must have resurged somewhere... Europe?
Anticipation of Pokemon sun and Moon? More people finally deciding to upgrade to New 3ds/xl? Yokai watch which slays in Europe, excluding the UK? Maybe thye have silently released the coveted New 3ds model normally in the USA/AMERICAS?
The interesting thing is that in the same time frame. there were 680k gba units shipped down from 980k of last year! So 3ds reduced the gap by 600k units... Still is fairly behind it mosty due to the Americas but it's good to see the difference being rebated!
3DS shows way better legs than gba...Exciting!
What fills me with joy is that the price drop of 2ds had a considerable effect, I hope that it will continue... You can technically have a 3ds for just 79 dollars! Very enticing, especially for the kids who have been obsessed with mobile+tablet... An audience that 3ds is missing! Nintendo must grow the Nintendo selects family and expand it to bigger block-busters , which by the way has huge success according to Ninty numbers!
I'm looking forward to the price drop of the real hot thing, New 3ds/xl...! Or at least to the old models, because they have huge stock which is stagnant ( who wants to buy them when there are the new models with not being much more expensive than them? ) and probably causing trouble to Ninty with shipments of the New models! FIRESALE THEM!
