Does it make you sad when they destroy all? Hey, even more reason to buy the Wii U and go pure Nintendo Fan! 
Just for the record, the original DS sold 7m in its second best year in Japan, and 8.2m in its best year in Japan. 3DS is at 4.9m or so in the past 12 months - which is as high as any console has ever sold in a year in Japan (seriously, PS2 / Wii / SNES topped out at 4m-4.5m in 12 months, PS1 topped out at 5m in 12 months) but still way off the DS peak. Will be interesting to see how high 3DS gets though - I'm sure they can push it to at least 6m in a year (a 12 month year, not say Jan-Dec necessarily).
Hardware is tracking around 60k down on 2011 through week one of May in Japan, but presumably Wii U / Vita / 3DS will come through and lead to a substantially bigger year than 2011 by year end.
Japan is like the mirror image of the West right now too - total Sony & Microsoft HW are down quite a bit on 2011 YTD (1.176m in 2012, 1.398m in 2011 through tis point, X360 (-50% YTD), PSP (-57% YTD) are most of the fall, PS3 is up a bit, Vita is up from 0), while Nintendo HW is up marginally (50k) even with DS collapsing due to saturation / 3DS.
People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.
When there are more laws, there are more criminals.

Boring numbers.
We need some change.
PSP, please die and let the Vita live a bit.
Wii, make room for Wii U.
PS2, I think its time.
3DS, can you give the Vita some of your sales?
@VGKing
PSP: No! Development cost too high!
3DS: Sure, first get a price cut and some games...

The DS Lite launched in Japan in late February/early March 2006 and it took until June until it was released worldwide. So that's that. Considering the Circle Pad Pro incident, a redesign must be underway, so the only question is how soon will it release. An announcement two weeks before NSMB2 releases isn't out of the question, because at the end of July Nintendo will post their financial results for the first quarter. Regardless of how Nintendo is going to handle it, an August launch would be the best way to go about it, thus building momentum for the holiday season. |
Honestly, I doubt there will be a redesign until after monster hunter 4 drops. Currently Capcom is making a boat load off of those hunks and there's probably a deal where Nintendo won't redeisgn until after MH4 so that Capcom can rape the consumers, and THEN nitendo will redesign :D.
