Another one person who finds that good, I don't disagree but there is a specific Australian, that considers that as killed by switch...

 

What would you say if apprise you that as of April 3DS had stock issues ( since January ) ...

* 2DS has sold out again after recent restocking , it's only available at gamestop! 

At this point, you'd expect at least a 15%ish drop YOY... although, it could be down big over the holidays.

As for a stock issue, it's interesting, but when I was working at best buy during early 2010s, we had Vita shortages regularly.  Wasn't necessarily a sign it was doing well.  

Nintendo forecast for 3ds in FY16 was 5m, it was increased to 6m after Pokemon GO, and fairly later to 7m, they ended up selling 7.3m ( Pokemon S/M ) ...

It sold out all of its stock in the USA on holidays, and you can guess what ensued...

Also, it's highly likely that the same happend in Europe, boost from pokemon go and the sales after that were equal between these two markets! Maybe just 2DS sold out there,  last year 2DS account for the 50% of 3DS sale in Europe...

I hope you read rol's enlightening post in the link that I quoted you previously...

Aren't you still working at best buy ?

 

Nintendo is about to fix the stock issues once and for all with the release of the best 3DS ever revision, which cost 50$ less than New 3ds xl, New 2ds xl in the end of July... Well, if thee amount of units that will be made will be congruent with the demand forestalling a probable selling-out...
