| Louie said: Soundwave, do you ever fact-check the stuff you talk about? The DS saw shipments until 2016. I guess Nintendo had a 12-year plan in mind for it? What about the Gameboy? The Super NES saw shipments for 14 years. The NES got new shipments until 2004, for god's sake. The GBA also saw shipments for 9 years. Game Boy: 14 years. Do I have to go on? And as the 3DS sold only 600k units in a whole year, I highly doubt you can "walk into any store" and buy the thing. |
The NES, SNES, Game Boy are not products from this century, they are products from the 1990s. The 3DS will overtake the DS and has already passed the GBA.
Which country are you living in where you can't walk into a store and not see a 3DS. It's stocked by every major retailer in any of the major markets. This is not some niche product.
DS was basically in the same spot the 3DS is now in April 2013, Nintendo forecast 0 units at that time, shipments after that point were likely basically deadstock inventory not new units.
