| Kerotan said: Correct me if I'm wrong but between the PS4 and Switch doesn't the PD4 still hold the record for most units sold at launch? @miyamotoo You always mention the 3DS price cut but never mention the huge games it got just after. Many believe Nintendo prematurely panicked and sliced the price of the console too early when it would have sold extremely well after the big games released. |

You are partially right, 3DS did get 3D Mario, Mario Kart & Monster Hunter in holiday 2011 and in 2012 it had a more steady flow of games so sales would have increased regardless, they just wouldnt have increased as much without the price cut and revision.
3DS sold 9.78 million in 2011+2012 and Switch will be around 6.8 million in 2017+2018. Without the year 1 price cut and year 2 revision, 3DS would probably be pretty similar to Switch.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
