They didn't state double digit growth in hardware alone, they said it with Accessories. That is what he is trying to point out Psrock. It is a small PR trick, nothing more.

We saw double digit growth in both hardware and accessories was not clear enough. 

Except it didn't say that, it said across.

I will never get why people get so defensive about what they THINk the figures are ... they are what they are and whatever you lot post, aint gonna change that.

Just wait for them to enevitably leak and you'll see then ..

I just read the "MS doesn't know what to do with Kinect", and you come here saying this, lol. 

Given they're not remotely the same, I don't see your point.

You are the most defensive person in this site, yet you keep accusing people of doing what you do best.

Ahh, Wii is down decently, but somehow DS still has the crown. I really want to see April figures, I will laugh if both DS and 3DS sells 400k above. One console has to give. 


3DS wont do more than 300K seeing as it's done less than 400K on launch week! terrible.

You are really becoming of the most annoying posters these days, it was just a comment, if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen.

Yeah but even after all the complaning against him the last day or two he ended up being pretty close with his 3DS and Wii predictions right? 

He is like the Nintendo version of Ethomaz.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

hey, don't be so harsh, it's totally realistic 3DS will go from 400k launch week, to under 75k weekly .... lawl

It's dropping a lot in EMEAA already, the same could happen in US.

Wow, Wii is going down the drain pretty fast this year. It's down massively on every market. The rumors gain a lot of credibility after the recent results.

The new Nintendo 3DS™ system combined with the Nintendo DS™ family of systems to make last month the best-selling March in U.S. history for Nintendo’s portable hardware business, according to the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States.

After only one week on sale following its March 27 launch, Nintendo 3DS sold just shy of 400,000 units. Propelled by sales of more than 1.3 million Pokémon™ White Version games and more than 1.1 million Pokémon™ Black Version games, the Nintendo DS family of systems topped all home and portable video game systems in March, with more than 460,000 sold.

“Both Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo DS family had a strong month, indicating that Nintendo has something for everyone,” said Charlie Scibetta, Nintendo of America’s senior director of Corporate Communications. “Nintendo provides people with the best video game experiences, from 3D visuals without special glasses to a touch-screen interface to motion controls.”

Nintendo’s Wii™ console sold more than 290,000 in the United States in March, giving Nintendo combined hardware sales of more than 1.1 million for the month. The upcoming Wii Play™: Motion game launches on June 13 and will have players smiling as they use their Wii Remote™ Plus controller (or Wii Remote™ with Wii MotionPlus™ accessory) in 12 new motion-controlled games. Wii Play: Motion comes packaged with a black Wii Remote Plus controller to deliver great value, precise motion control and immersive social fun that anyone in the household can pick up and instantly enjoy.

As Nintendo 3DS heads into its first full month of sales, a number of milestones are on the horizon to keep momentum going:

A free future system update will provide Nintendo 3DS owners with an Internet browser and access to the Nintendo eShop, which will bring consumers a broad variety of downloadable software as well as video game trailers, screen shots and related information. The system update also delivers a solution for Nintendo DSi™ and Nintendo DSi XL™ owners to easily transfer most of their Nintendo DSiWare™ games to their new Nintendo 3DS systems.
On June 19, The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D introduces a completely re-mastered version of an epic entry in the beloved The Legend of Zelda game series. The game couples phenomenally enhanced graphics, stunning glasses-free 3D visuals, a touch-screen interface and newly implemented motion controls to provide a fresh experience. The game will also feature new challenges not included in the original game. The Legend of Zelda veterans can look forward to the Master Quest – a second quest with revamped puzzles and redesigned dungeons that feature the same graphical and interface upgrades as the main game.
Later this summer, Netflix members who own a Nintendo 3DS system and can access a broadband wireless Internet connection will be able to instantly watch TV episodes and movies streaming from Netflix directly to their Nintendo 3DS systems. A Netflix unlimited membership is required.

Agreed.  According to VGC, the 3DS has only sold 77K last week in EMEAA, with it getting closer to dropping to be on par with the PS3's sales (62K)  .  And 3DS has been beaten by the PSP, a 6 year old console, for 2-3 weeks in Japan.  So you're prediction may be as spot on as your other 2.  I think Nintendo may be forced to cut the price this holiday season to combat slowing sales and/or the NGP.  Out of curiousity, would this be the first time Nintendo has had to do this within the 1st year of the launch of one of its consoles?
