So, when are smartphones going to start to slow down 3DS sales?

When iPhone 5 comes out

 


Sure. Parents are going to love buying their kids a $700 phone.


$700 ... $200, what's the diff really right.  i mean, same number of sig figs right?? right?

:lol wouldn't that require a 2 year contract though? I mean sure there's the iTouch and all but those are outdated compared to their iPhone counterparts? When iTouch 5 comes along, those will cost more than a Vita!

an iphone without a service contract is an ipod touch, which is in no other way lacking any of the features of an iphone 4.  same OS, same hardware features - it only lacks the phone connectivity.

Great week for 3DS, thanks to Japan, where it's up despite SW dropping.
Bad drop for PS3, but it's still the first home console weekly by a large margin.
Japan saves Wii from falling under 100k.
Next week MS will have a first hint whether XB360 needs a cut or not.

and if that doesnt work then.. when the iphone 6 comes out.. or the iphone 7.. or the iphone 8!.. or until the next nintendo handheld comes out.. surely by then the iphone will slow the 3DS down..  - I predict analysts future prediction!

Dead Island is still doing great!

Won't be long before Halo Reach is out of the top 40. GT5 beats Halo Reach this week.

If I'm not wrong GT5 is beating Reach in the year (2011).

I don't think so Halo Reach has been selling much better than GT5 so far this year...unless January had one of those high selling weeks for GT5.

Is there any way we can find out?

I was checking and there are a feature for that... the yearly chart.

http://www.vgchartz.com/yearly.php

21. Gran Turismo 5 - 1,216,577
25. Halo: Reach - 1,135,955

Almost tied.

Black Ops PS3 is selling just 300k below Black Ops 360... amazing fact too.

Killzone 3 is the best selling exclusive for PS3 this year... over LittleBigPlanet 2.

Thats awesome, I never knew it existed. How do you navigate to it?


Go to the homepage of the sales part of the site and it's about halfway down on the right side

Killzone was the highest selling game to come out in 2011 all the way up to September when L.A. Noire (PS3) outsold it

3DS is doing great and will continue to sell well.

Holiday #'s are coming soon and 360 & Wii should start outselling PS3.

What makes you think both will suddenly start to outsell PS3? I see nothing...

To be honest both Sony & Nintendo have nearly nothing for PS3 or Wii for Holiday 2011.

PS3 has Rathcet And Clank & Uncharted 3 Drakes Deception and Wii has Zelda Skyward Sword, Kirby Returns To Dreamland, and Fortune Street.

Microsoft is the only one who has a decent Party 1 lineup...Gears Of War 3, Forza Motorsport 4, Halo Combat Evolved Reamke, Kinect Games.

We all know that the Wii gets a big boost during the Holiday like most Nintendo products but with Kinect, 360 should get a better Holiday boost than PS3 as well. PS3 isn't outselling 360 by a huge amount and Wii isn't too much behind 360. Wii has the previous hits that should carry it again this Holiday...Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Fit Plus...you get the deal. Also, Wii will be the cheapest its ever been this Holiday because now that its already $150, many places will probably sell it for $100 from deals.

IMO, Handhelds will domiante in Japan anyway while 3DS dominates Worldwide this Holiday...but from a Home System view I expect PS3 to be #3.
