I'm happy. I don't care about sales, I'm not a stock investor. I have all the games I want and I could care less how many other people do. So as long as Smash and Monster Hunter 4 hit the shelves I will get my copy and again care less about how many systems actually sale. I never understand why gamers do? Is it some type of bragging rights? Idk.


THE healthier the sales of a console (and software), the more that is invested in it *by first and 3rd party devs and the longer the lifespan-

Additionally, this is a sales focussed web site- most of us are here in part or primarilly to follow sales in the industry and or for specific consoles, games etc

can you really say that for the WIi?

The Wii had plenty of investment but not all of it was well directed imo-  but it stil had enough investment to have plenty of bad games and plenty of good games

ok thats fair. but its not like it had a longer lifespan. Hell 360 has been out longer and its still getting supported.

Well that would explain why you're on a sales site talking about sales.



As Japan moves closes to Handhelds, the West loses faith in handhelds though this is more due to the competing mobile platform. When my little brother was younger, he got a DS and PSP. When he reached highschool, he asked for a Samsung Galaxy instead. I know it's just one person but I think you'll find that this is not a rare scenario and is very much unlike the console scene where those that grew up with them are the one that still play into adulthood.

there's a game drought on 3ds that explain the fall of it sale



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I never actually looked at them, always the total. But yeah, they're horrible!



What did you expect from a d00m3d handheld?

No but it does make me a little sad for the generation below me playing mindless ios games, it's the kids not buying the console. They're going to miss out on a lot if they're not introduced to a wider range of gaming like the Gameboys and DS managed with far less power. The richness of nintendo can help make more little gamers but they're just not getting the chance. 



Buying order: Switch, better pc
