less then 75k is a flop if you ask me. they are just moving stock 44k does not make a massive difference from a profit point of you.

well, I think he is talking about shipments. So if they ship normally 20k, now it would be like 80k, and all is sold out at the stores :)

The 3DS sold 21,416 in America and 32,454 in Europe last week, so I assume the 3DS is a bigger flop in those countries?

Very true, we must assume these figures are indeed shipment. Disregarding all that came before this I still expect around 70k, as I predicted here.

These numbers just seem too low.

I'd imagine he means because the Vita had a $50 and a $100 price cut with a number of pretty big games. Below 75k is not a flop, it's probably too high for more people to even consider. There's no denying the 3DS is struggling in the West (though Europe isn't a country ) but let's not bring that up here.

It's still a good sign

Not particularly. As was mentioned in the other thread, anything under 50k would be a bit of a disaster really, especially FW. Let's just hope it's wrong.

Except very few people actually expect 50k. I don't think it will and I don't see how people think it will.

Yeah.  And lets remember that all gaming companies always talk about shipment figures, so why would they change now? XD

What is wrong with some you? It's like you are trying any excuse to put down the vita once and for all. 44k in just japan is great for a system with only a $50 price cut.

Didn't the 3G model get a $100 cut, though? I think so.

And with all the games released this week, it's somewhat disappointing (merely looking at what other price cuts have done for other systems). It's an improvement, yes, and if it can maintain these sales then that's good. But I, as well as many other people, expected more.

But the 3g is for all intents and purposes being phased out. It's like comparing the premium and normal Wii U bundles, the normal bundle accounts for a miniscule % of sales.
