Like I said in another thread. Late Feb, March, April, May is when USA citizens get some of their money back in tax returns. Easy time for some to throw down on a video game console.   They didn't for 3DS because 250 is too much for a hand held. Once the price dropped to 200 is when the 3DS started making strides.  Oh and games...

There is no such tax return effect shown in VGChartz data.  
 Not for USA
(  http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=USA&start_year=2004&end_year=2016&console=  )  
 and not for Japan  
 (  http://www.vgchartz.com/tools/hw_yoy.php?reg=Japan&start_year=2006&end_year=2016&console=  )  
 that allegedly has a sales spike at the end of April with Golden Week.

Yeah, you will probably only see a spike in Golden Week.  I'm just saying the tax return time is the best chance for me to buy a system with the usual 600-900 dollars I get back from returns.  I have another co worker in the same boat.  Our broke asses need an infusion of money to spring on the purchase and tax return time is best chance for us besides maybe getting a bunch of overtime hours.
