I can't be held to the arguments of others who essentially made different assessments from me on that saturation point. I think I already addressed the topic of AC being a potential outlier, including its alignment with Corona. The only thing to outline here is that I don't expect many (if any) system sellers of the kind we've seen already going forward in the next 3 years and thus I don't think numbers will maintain their current level next fiscal year, meanwhile you and others in this thread feel the opposite. I will keep my eyes peeled for the next AC size system seller |
You're incorrect as that quarter was up from the prior Nintendo themselves reported the quarter was up 10% this counters your point

"Nintendo reported sales of 6.45 million 3DS units during its third fiscal quarter, a figure that was up 10 percent year-over-year. The quarter included the release of two limited-edition models of the 3DS, which sold out instantly; it remains hard to find 3DS systems in stores."
This shows a returning franchise had a boost to the point the platform did better than the prior FY and this was during a period when it was being replaced as well NS had already been revealed and in the following year 3DS still matched it's prior FY this goes against what you're trying to say.
The thing is you're repeating the same argument of others that's why someone pointed out that it's been parroted for years now the argument just gets adjusted from hindsight to be reissued again this time next year someone else will be using the same argument.
