Now that 3ds is more powerful there is no more reason to buy a Vita IMO!

Either N3ds got a massive boost to its specs or Vita isnt as powerful as everybody says

I'm curious to know which game demonstrates that new3DS is more powerful than Vita.

Btw Nintendo doesn't mention any details about the new processor in the product description.


Oh my post was a joke, i know it aint as powerful as the Vita^  I wouldn't kno about specs, my specialty is Playing Games!!!

 

"Well I was obviously wrong 1 month ago. But the impact of new3DS to be seen : will it be just people jumping from old to new or can it actually expand the audience and save it from saturation?"

This is a question for a later day, too early to say for now. Its doing well for now, next week will hit a steep drop due to shipments not coming in intill frday/saturday. The real test will begin imo in 3-4 weeks. When stock is caught up to demand. Also now we knw why N3DS wont hit the west (exception of Australia). They wouldn't have nearly enough N3DS ready, looking at the situation in Japan :0

DriveClub + Fifa + White still do barely anything for the PS4. Oy.

WiiU needs the new family bundles... badly.

The 3DS is dead. All hail the n3ds!

lol the Vita is still more powerful than the New 3DS. Look it up.


Yes, i am sure it is... but still Japan wasn't impressed before and now they should have less reason too.

 



Switch!!!

Very nice 3DS numbers, great start for MH. Nice PS4 boost too but holy crap RIP vita

XB1 below 1000

About what you'd expect from the new model + new MH. While ~1.4 million isn't fantastic, it's not far from the rest of the series.


But it wasnt 1.4mil, its over 1.6mil, you kno its supply restraint and Famitsu is the surperior tracker for MH  (because of DL cards) and no digital numbers which could be anywhere from 1k-200k

Regardless of download cards, they'll still even out. Just pick one tracker and stick with it (they have differed so much week to week on HW and other SW that you can't just say download cards).

Not sure why laughing. Just unsure if it'll break 3 million.

MH4 was at 4.1mil shipment (including digital) and MH4G is 2mil+ with 4 days shipment. I thinkit can hit 3mil. I say 2.8mil by years end and 3.1mil-3.2mil LTD (shipped+digital)

Wii U lost it's MK8 and Hyrule Warriors effect and is going seriously down again.
Nintendo really needs to do something big to revive the console for the holiday season and next year. New colours, redesign, more collaborations... anything.

Smash.

 


Not that it won't lift Wii U sales, it's just that it remains to be seen what kind of impact can still have on the Wii U.

If there was only one version of Smash, things would be different, but the 3DS version has already been released and japanese gamers are more handheld oriented then ever before.
We are no longer facing the same scenario as with all past Smash games.

People can be sure of a lot of things, especially when emotions enter the equation. But you're wrong in this case. Feel free to post how this is true. We all know the specs and the graphics the games have.

I know Capcom is expecting 3.9 million at the end of March 2015 (shipped + digital). I don't see that happening unless it launches in the West soon. I also just think that the 2 million means there really isn't any supply constraint. It's not going to sell better digitally than the previous MH which barely hit 6 figures.
