DS in its 5th week in EMEAA

PS2 134,760 (-1%) 32,398,097
DS 49,520 (-10%) 647,965
GBA 24,130 (-11%) 17,265,751
XB 16,217 (-4%) 6,696,672
GC 9,084 (-3%) 4,192,522

See? DS with better software overall and without competition was doing worse.

It had a different brand from GBA, it was marketed better than 3DS and it was sold at a smaller price. And was being outsold 2:1 by a 5 year old console.

The expectation of Nintendo and, generally, people were too high, it's doing fine from the beginning to now.

but at least the ds outsold the gba

seeing the 3ds below the ds is quite worrying imo

If Nintendo cares only about 3DS they could just discontinue DS...but they don't they want to make money and DS 3DS are doing as well as DS last year, so the minimum target as been reached. With better software and other incentives 3DS should start selling well before the year ends.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)
