kids? aren't you forgetting everyone else?

Soundwave, you need to stop making these threads. Craping on the 3DS for being an average seller is my thing.

they got 3mil+ didn't they? Thats 3mil+ more added to 3ds lifetime and probably 5mil total, maybe more as we need updated numbers from Nintendo

they would have gotten those 3 mil from regular holiday boost and sales anyway. Unless you believe those were 2ds numbers. Matter of fact unless you can show how much actual 2ds were sold you dont really have a case

I cant fiind the 3mil one but here is 2.1mil http://wiiudaily.com/2014/02/2ds-sales-figures/

which is a very small amount of overall 3ds sold. IMHO that is nothing to write home about its not bad, but im sure that they still could have sold that much without it

I'm not too worried about it because they haven't done a hardware refresh yet in the united states and it already has as many million sellers in the usa as the psp had lifetime. With the DS line they released a hardware refresh much earlier on. The DS and Wii generation are an exception not a standard to be compared with. The world is much different today with facebook games, tables, and smartphones ect. The dedicated handheld market is now the same size it was back in the gameboy or gameboy advance days and it's a market Nintendo is capable of dominated and profiting in.  In the current generation Nintendo's consoles are suffering from a bit of an identiy crisis. They were developed largely with the idea that they could repeat some of the success of the previous gen but also trying to march forward into a new landscape of needing to cater more to the dedicated gamer.  As it turns out they should have totally abandoned any notion that last gen could be repeated and have gone heavier into the dedicated gamer market. They won't have any false notions with their next systems and will be better and more successfull for it.

Because you end up coming off like a broken record with an axe to grind (yay idiomatic metaphors!)

May not be what your intentions are, but it's how you sound.

Lets wait till tje holidays before we cry wolf mmkay

He obviously knows something that we don't!
