you may be right, i just know in the last few weeks the situation has changed. |
I recently see that the New color sheme MK7 2DS BLUE/RED and black/galaxy style New 3ds xl are finally again available online at gamestop/bestbuy, amazon though has only Pikachu New 3ds xl edtion from a third party at 240$...
Nevertheless, I'm sure that as of mid April, 3DS was scarce because Pikachu new 3ds xl edition was sold out everywhere ( well that from the first days of march ) and all the other models still had the prompt ''check in stores''...
That's for the USA...
I don't have any official source for EU to be honest, only a plethora of complaints on gaf!
Also there is compelling evidence, 3DS sold through 1.25m in FY16/17 Q3 260k more than the same quarter in previous fiscal year, why 3DS that sold 350k FY 15/16 Q4 OR CYQ1, suddenly sells 215k ( according to vgc ) Jan- March 2017 , following the considerable yoy/qyoy sales growth? ( These FY data are from Nintendo IR site and president presentation )
Hence either undertracked or more possible that what happened with 3DS stock thanks to Pokemon GO and Pokemon S/M on holidays ensued in Europe too..;)
