So, the 3DS is still on track for 15M+ this year? I even saw some saying 18M.

Unlikely, it's overtracked in the US and UK 500k each!

Funny, I saw some saying 15 mil was impossible. Who was that again...?



I was being sarcastic - it won't do 15M+.

C´mon guys. Stop talking baloneys about 3DS sales in Japan. It´s still selling a lot, and will continue to sell a lot in 2014. We all know that.

3DS is definitely beginning its decline though. Not beating last year's LTD with this year's line up is rather surprising, and there's hardly anything big for 2014 so far.

 

Edit: Monolith Title (Maybe 2014), Possible Pokemon Z or Ruby/Sapphire Remakes, Possible MH4G, Possible Pokemon spinoff. 2014 hasn't arrived yet and nintendo could be  hiding alot of games under there belt.

 


This was a pretty funny list to bring up when he's saying there's not a lot of big stuff "so far".

This year has kinda showed that a lot of the 3DS userbase is already there.  Presumably stuff like Monster Hunter 3G brought the Monster Hunter 4 crowd in.  So I'm not quite sure what Monster Hunter 4G would actually do for hardware.  Same with Pokemon Z.

Smash is the biggest wildcard "could be massive" for 2014.  We just don't know how much of the userbase is interested in a handheld version; and how many Smash fans would buy a console for it.  

he stated there were no big games coming out and i brought up a list. He never stated what are system sellers in his post. I proved him wrong nuff said

As hardware sellers go, who knows. Kirby to SSB can push systems, nobody expected Luigi Mansion 2 to do so well (aside from me and a few others :P ) and look wat happed lol!



oh yeahhhhhh.

My point was more that he said there were no big games announced so far and you came up with a list full of "possibly" this and "maybe" that.  So, kind of proving his point for the time being.



The problem with Vita Games:
2/- PS3 New Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Bandai Namco Games 13/12/19 121,674 121,674
9/- Vita New Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Bandai Namco Games 13/12/19 49,261 49,261

It is being released on both platforms, if it's just the Vita that has it, I'm pretty sure it would have really much better sales.

did you read my entire post? the original one you cut out? i listed big games and stated that even if they arent on MH/pokemon level, they  are still big titles!

Then i edited my post claiming that like this time last year we didn't kno all the games that were coming in 2013! Thats why i put some possibilities. Dunno why your acting like i was wrong?

Edit: I psted this "As of now big games we now of are Kirby TD, Mario Party, Mario Golf, BD2, Yoshi's New Island, Game Center CX, Fossil Fighters 2, Dragon Quest terry  2, Super Smash Bros for 3DS, Theatrythym FF, Persona Q, and alot more."

Also LoZ+PDZ will have most of their sales in 2014  especially LoZ since its only 1 week of sales in 2013!

Yes, and apart from Dragon Quest & Smash they're all sort of mid-level games.  Which is fine.  They'd be 'big' selling titles on say, Vita, comparative to the rest of its library.  But Vita is selling ~ 1m per year in Japan.  3DS is selling ~ 5m per year.  You can see why there's a difference, surely?

And yes, we don't know what's coming in 2014.  And so far, aside from Smash, nothing really 'big' has been announced yet.  We can speculate on all the possibly this and maybe thats under the sun, but so far we don't have a lot.  Which is what Ryuzaki said.
