Yes 3DS rulez, but it didn't kill home consoles, while portables are obviously affected, but not killed either (and PSP achieves first and second SW sellers for the week, despite 3DS and Dr Layton 3DS launches).

Curiously, the most affected Nintendo portable is the cheapest, DS Lite, while more logically the most affected Sony one is the most expensive, PSP Go.

I don't think it had much effect on PSP.

PSP was tracking at <40k levels three weeks ago and got huge spike to 100k two weeks ago on 2 new bundles and resolved shortages so drop in previous week and this week is normal follow up to that , so we will see about that in following weeks after PSP stabilises at certain level.

Yes, although having had the two biggest SW launches of the week, the drop could have been even smaller, but I agree that only when we'll know at which level it will stabilize again, we'll know for sure the possible effect. The curious thing of the cheapest DS having the biggest drop remains, anyway.

Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.

66k gap 2 months in. With the price cut to the torne bundle that could expand to as much 150k this month. PS3 really has this year on lockdown. Like I said earlier in the thread, if the gap grows to 400k or more I don't think even DQX would be enough to turn things in Wii's favor.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

PS3 will be the best selling game console in 2011, 3DS won't be even touching PS3 with the anticipated PS3 pricecut later this year

@the question aimed at me: Yes they are 2 games.

@the march Wii games question: There aren't any other games coming out for the Wii in March. Just those two, and they will probably sell max 20k each.
