3DS Down only 10% YoY (724k vs 656k)

Upcoming Weeks intill H1 of 2015 is done. 3ds will need to put in some work...

Week 14         32.0k      34.5k
Week 15         23.5k
Week 16         19.9k 
Week 17         34.0k
Week 18         39.6k  
Week 19         35.9k
Week 20         23.6k  
Week 21         23.3k
Week 22         23.7k
Week 23         36.3k
Week 24         26.6k
Week 25         26.3k
Week 26         27.9k


10% is a lot considering it got it's final revision released late last year (early october was it?), but not a lot considering it's in it's 5th year, and nearing the end of its life. Hmmm. What a conundrum.

 

Seriously though, I think it'll be down quite a lot YoY come N3DS launch, as it won't have the N3DS launch to provide a good boost (duh).

Not unless MH5, DQ11, Pokemon, and YW3 all launch the same week

Yeah but most of that effect should of been 2014, which stopped a major decline (would of been down 50%+). Yeah its in the mid ground of good/bad. Its holding up, which was its job. Imagine if there werent a revision?Also 2015 games haven't even come yet. Only like 2-3 decent games came out this year for 3ds, 1 really huge game (LoZ)

Well of course (be down when N3ds launches), but as of now its holding. Last year 3ds sold 3.1mil, i dont think many expected 3ds to hold a 2mil in its 5th year prior to n3ds release, in fact if n3ds didnt launch i think it be about 2.1mil for 2014 and about 1.2-1.3mil for 2015.

Expected drop for ps4, will go lower untill golden week. Xenoblade had a great opening. It did similar numbers to the first game, even though it's just a port (japanese don't like ports/remakes) on 1/8 the wii's installed base. Mario party 10 is having some great legs, above 100k already.

When is golden week? because as far as I'm concerned MGS PP will move ps4 consoles and that come in september.

Last week of april

which will probably be lead by dq10 and xcx in terms of software sales for that week.

Nintendo truly in need of a new handheld asap. Sony doing very well for instance, despite the PS4 drop (expected).

the 3ds is still the top selling platform. how does that equal needing a new portable asap?

I think you mean starting May. I don't think there is ever a holiday where you travel back in time
