Forums - Sales - EMEAA up! 09 April

Around what number will 3DS sales stabilize? Its biggest games are already out of the Top20.

Kinect looks like a US-UK-Australia-only thing, it's dropping in Europe despite heavy advertising happening right now.

Welcome back in the EMEAA Top40, GT5 and GT PSP!

Bad numbers, but at least PS3 still leads this disappointing bunch.

Give it few weeks and at this ratio we will be looking at PSP vs 3DS race  similar to Japan ;)

Well it's a part of my two desires:

1. To see PSP enjoying some much deserved success.

2. To see Nintendo greed punished.

 

Anyway it isn't that unrealistic

In Poland whatever little buzz 3DS had at launch week has already died

3DS with no new games released will go down next week

PSP on the other hand will go up following price drop on 8th of April

Are the 3DS numbers really that bad? I mean not only is it competing with the PSP but also with it's older brother the DS which is still selling well.

Maybe some people expected to much from the 3DS but I always thought that from autumn through christmas is when it would really take off. This period will break or make it.

From what I read many people are waiting 'til the time is right to get one, meaning when the games they want are out before trading in the old for the new.


For a new system, too put it bluntly. That's fucking horrible. Especially for the system that's being hailed as the successor to the DS.


OK, I will accept that.

Now down to 77k.

I think Nintendo is actually right now, I don't think a price cut will help the 360/PS3 that much anymore, we are simply nearly market saturation :/ time to release a new console


I agree, go vote in my thread.


Or go read in my thread how the next generation is gonna be much smaller than the current one. :P

Seriously, I think these numbers are just reflective of the wider economy.

People don't realize that DS's first year on the market was pretty bad as well



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

So it was with the PS1 and the PS2 was nothing like it. There's a significant difference between a platform stabilishing a brand and it's much hyped successor, specially when the platform in question is best selling of all time. To simply expect the marked to buy your console with no compelling price or games sounds awfully like what Sony did with the PS3 by 06-07.
