Looks like sales are declining. Next gen cant come soon enough imo.


But the gen just started.

We all know that when sales start "declining" that means a new gen -must- start. Get with the times!

for the weak performance of third party titles, I really don't know who we shall blame, Nintendo, third party publishers or the consumers?

Consumers. Though 3rd parties have unloaded a ton of shovelware on Nintendo platforms as of late, their titles were generally avoided by most Nintendo fans for whatever reason.

Impressive how 3DS is beating the 3DS having more million sellers*.


*Vita is another generation.


Actually, Vita is in the same generation as the 3DS, but both should not be considered the same generation as consoles. 3DS may have the most million sellers but the Vita really hasn't even been available in the US for 12 months so that isn't anything to hang the hat on.

Yeah, 3 months from now Vita will definitely have more million sellers than 3DS.

No I doubt that. Part of the key to the hand held market in NA is to aim for the youth and family friendly affairs along with traditional offerings. Sony didn't seem to pick that up with the PSP and Vita is pretty much the child of Sony's stubbornness and the success the PSP had in Japan and parts of Europe thanks to Monster Hunter and a few PS2 developers latching onto to it. The Vita probably won't be that fortunate and outside of this year and a few Japan exclusives you can't guarantee on a good crop of exclusives for the system.
