Powerhouse indeed... Shit seems unstoppable... Too bad people will forget this when the 4ds comes out and Nintendo will be doomed once again

Would be nice a comparison of 3DS, and GBA launch aligned.

With sales of hardware and software like that, how is it not a powerhouse?

Software sales like that? You realise that on average, a 3DS owner only buys 3 games?

Kind of expected. Well besides the people who were saying the 3DS was doomed a couple years ago.

Well we can agree the 3DS is a profit powerhouse for Nintendo.

Powerhouse in Japan for sure, US and Europe? not so much, does 4m on average there which is lower than PS3 in US and 360 in Europe's average throughout this gen.
