February 6 2005...DS was doomed!

 

I'm not saying 3DS can't fail, just being outsold by one console means nothing (even if it's 6 years old), even DS dipped around 30k just 2 months after its release, 3DS numbers look worse just because it has not been launched during holidays like DS right now.


Look how much behind DS was, 17M behind, now it's about 10M ahead!

No it's not.  The numbers are wrong and haven't been adjusted, I wouldn't be surprised if PS2 was still barely ahead.

I think he was talking about Japan.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

PSP > 3DS is a great example of how GAMES make or break the sales, not hardware gimmicks, price, horsepower, or even brand name. As of now, 3DS has a weak library, and PSP has a strong library of games, being carried primarilly by Monster Hunter. Until 3DS gets a stronger library; particularly a 2D Mario game, Mario Kart, or a Monster Hunter of its own, sales will continue to be behind PSP.

Though 3DS is still getting a huge lead built up against the soon to be released NGP, while the PSP is forced to catch up to the DS, which is unreachable anyway.

 

I would think Professor Layton and Nintendogs would normally move some hardware for the 3DS in Japan. Didn't they push some for the DS? At least a little, I would think. Maybe they've already done that with the first few weeks. Though neither of them are selling that great in general..heres hoping to them legging out.

Yeah, same here. Misleading title is misleading.

Yes  I was, I don't think for a second PS2 is undertracked by 10M in Japan alone.

One thing that I want to point out here:

 

Nintendogs sold about 2k more than last week. We might finally start seeing an uprise of legs.

Of course it's kind of early, and not a huge uprise, but it still could mean something.

10,780 isn't 2k more than 13,219.
