DS was a late starter against GBA just as 3DS is proving to be against DS. People love to jump the gun without actually looking at the hard data - GBA outsold DS for the first two years of the DS life in the West but that didn't stop it dominating once the GBA finally died away and the big games came.

Do you have any prediction for 3DS's LT sales?

Indeed, and I wish some people could apply this logic to how the PS360 are dominating the WiiU right now. WiiU is the most expensive system on the market and its library right now pales in comparison to what you can get on the HD twins at a more affordable price - not to mention all the big games coming for them this year (GTAV, Infinite, Sony's exclusives, etc).

I'm not saying WiiU is set to dominate in the future, but next January after the new consoles have had their holidays and WiiU (hopefully) has a much stronger library and (almost certainly) a price cut, let's see how dire WiiU sales are in comparison to the competition then.

Bloody hell man... this was really interesting, thank you, tagging!

Kind of a shame about the idiot posts breaking up your graphs, but never mind.

Anyways... I came back to this thread to say I was thinking about it today, and how impressed I am in the work you put into it. It was a goal of mine to do what you did but seeing the effort it would take I hid back. I'm so glad you made this a reality and this thread needs to be stickied.



Bravo on this thread kitler! Be sure to state the date each chart was made so that you're able to notice when to report b/c adjustments.

The disclaimer he put in the OP and the lack of any lapsed time between all his posts, are the signs I'd have been looking at.

Unsure if genuine angry insult or not.

Genuinely angry at you. Okay, we fucked up. You're happy?

To be honest, in the years I've been here I've never seen a thread with 10 reserved posts, a thread of this endeavor.

But what I did learn is you throw out judgement easily, and I've been seeing it more from you, and I dislike it.

Wow I've never seen so many graphs in one place :o

It's soooo glorious!

..that you aren't going to kill me?
