Like when Mario Kart, SM3DLand came out? Not to mention a very large price cut. Still couldn't outsell PS3!

Exactly like when those games came out. you didn't see the huge jump in HW 3DS sales at the end of the year!? 

Those games released near the end of the year... thy didn't have a lot of time on the market to be able to do what I described.


The same will happen with LM2 and AC, NO?

Correct.

Glad we could agree on another thing then! PS3>3DS in 2012 confirmed

You are wrong, again. That post was to show that Nintendo's games gain traction, each year. That means more people will buy MK 7 and SM3DL this year than last year. That also means even more 3DS'd would be sold compared to last year.

Congrats to Sony.

Are they still losing money with the PS3?

very bias site as usual. 3DS did not come out at the beginning of the year. Then it had no games for the majority of the year. PS3 has no chance of selling 20+ million consoles this year like some of you all believe. Agent and Final Fantasy are just not going to sell systems like that. Now that the 3DS has games and more coming it will be the number one selling console of this year.

A couple more games that are going to help the 3DS this year:
Layton 5's Western release (1.5 million sales in West total)
Monster Hunter 4 (At least 3 or 4 million sales, assuming no Vita port at launch)
Brain Age Devil? (Might be a 2013 release, a couple million)
Paper Mario (Mario RPGs tend to sell 2 million or so)
Kid Icarus: Uprising? (Have you seen the legs?)
Mario Tennis? (Up to 2-3 million?)

These aren't all as big as Animal Crossing and 2D Mario, but it isn't as if those two games are the only sellers the 3DS has this year.



Love and tolerate.

Yeah thats because this site's userbase is mainly sony fans.  Its pathetic to be honest.  Just play games to have fun instead of make it into a competition.

MK7 maybe, but I don't think SM3DL will sell more this year than last year. Do you expect it to reach 10m this year?

Ummmm... no? I think at most 8 Million. I expect Mario Kart to surpass SM3DL though. MK might even get near 10 Million since it is such a big seller.
