LOL did you not just listen to what i said? He asked how could 3ds possibly be still selling. I gave him expamples of how it could still sell. I never said that's where all it's sales or even most of its sales come from. You are trying to assume i meant that so just stop because you're wasting your time taking my post for something it was never meant to be. 

Now that i've told you for the second time what it meant, hopefully you now agree that i'm right and that sales do come from the reason i highlighted, which is kids now old enough to get a console that weren't years ago can get one. Another reason is people's older 3ds's breaking and buying a replacement which is cheap to do nowadays. Another reason is people just wanting to upgrade an old model to a newer one. That's 3 possibilities i provided him with. If you can think of others feel free to reply to him and contribute but don't bother trying to discredit my post because it only contains facts. 

And now that i've thought about it again, i can add two another reasons. The entry price to the console is much cheaper meaning it could be affordable or just seen as value for money for consumers that seen it as too pricey in the past. Secondly thwe library is now much bigger then years gone by. So consumers might want to buy it for multiple games wheras in the past there might not have been enough titles on the platform to get them to make the purchase. Again loads of reasons and i just prov9ided him with a few. As i said stop trying to discredit my answer when it only contains facts. 

Isn't the EU usually seen as one market though. Sure they are a number of individual countries. But in general their economy and taste in gaming is pretty much the same. Same goes for USA and Canada a.k.a. the North American market. Which is still (by far) the biggest than EU and after that Japan. Asia is to much divided in both taste and market to fuse in one market. But as individual country it's still very relevant, but compared to EU it's rather small. That's why there are games targeted at the EU market and the Japanese market, but in general games targeted at EU and in lesser or more ways targeted at the NA market such as Horizon sell more WW. So Splatoon winning in Japan doesn't necessarily mean that it will win globally. But Crash outselling Splatoon in UK with bigger launch sales than Horizon does indicate it most likely will do better WW. 

Again, all stuff sells, even Vita. But the levels are relevant. The high 3DS levels can't be explained with kids getting older, as I explained. If that would be the case, the sales would be a fifth and not mention-worthy. Also breaking 3DS is funny, as the device is very sturdy. No, this explanation is ridiculous. Think about it this way: if someone asks why PS4 sells still that well I answer: kids become teens and get one and old PS4 are breaking and have to be replaced. Does it happen? Sure. Does it explain the levels of sales? Nope.

Price and library is a much better explanation, but it doesn't help other old consoles that much. Wii for instance died off quick despite low price and big library.

As an Irish man I take great offence to you saying the UK is 4 countries!! 

Italicised should make the point clear.

I am of the opinion that we should also count the Cayman Islands as a country, though, so that would be five countries, not four.

I think Kero is pissed because his part of Ireland left the UK.

@Kero you`re always welcome to rejoin the UK dood!

Haha yes, everyone expected Crash Bandicoot to outsell Splatoon 2 in Japan... I am really surprised to see Splatoon 2 outselling Crash in Japan... Never expected this to happen... XD 

Just as surprised as you Nintendo guys were when you saw Crash Bandicoot destroying Splatoon 2 in the UK! Dude you guys completely underestimated Crash Bandicoot, a lot of you didn't even think that it would reach 1M lifetime. And then out of nowhere Crash Bandicoot broke all records and became a huge system seller for PS4. You guys were all shocked by the popularity of Crash Bandicoot and now you try to down talk your completely ridiculous Crash Bandicoot sales predictions. With posts like this one you guys only prove to me how angry and embarrassed you were when Crash Bandicoot destroyed Splatoon 2 in the UK. XD

Btw
UK = 4 countries
Japan = 1 country
