Sounds like 3DS is down year over year. Odd with Pokemon + 2DS.

Like Seece was saying, the 3DS has peaked already. It's all downhill from here. Which is why someone, i remember seeing a thread like that, was not sure it would outsell the PSP.

It will outsell the PSP. The name of the game has simply changed though, Nintendo is dealing with an enemey in smartphones/tablet gaming that is unlike any they've ever faced before and far more challenging than Sega or Sony.

I think you will see a new third pillar platform from them in 2015 which will coexist with the cheaper 3DS/2DS for a couple of years at least.

If the WiiU is actually up YOY then why doesn't Nintendo announce it? The numbers aren't great but it's at least some positive news.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Congrats MS, wish I was here live for the meltdowns though, still very entertaining :D

i was hoping for even more. but when VGC has a good tracking, meltdowns arent as good, as numbers dont come as a surprise.
