The 3ds numbers were actually pretty damn good hence the higher forecast
Its the ds and wii that fell off the cliff hence the lowered forecast

\"Nintendo cited stronger-than-expected yen appreciation, sales performance, the price reduction of the 3DS hardware, and sales outlook for the holiday season. \"

lol and the ds never got outsold by the gba and psp right?
WRONG
And actually the 3ds has been in first place more weeks than the psp has in japan lately. And with a price drop. That wont end
And I am looking forward to the 10 gba games I never got a chance to play.
Sony lost fucking credit card info and they give 2 free games
Nintendo makes a price drop which is a good thing and they give 20 free games.
I care about the 20 free games
Very very good non fanboy article
Theres a reason why its projected to be number one in sales this year in japan (which the ds was never its first 2 years).
Its all the holiday
mario,pokemon, kid icarus, FF, DQ titles all during the holidays With a very very low price?
You also have to put in perspective that the ds was only selling like 50k a month in the US for 2 years.
People are making it seem like worldwide 700k is terrible but you have to put it in pers...
"Nintendo says its the 3ds marketing" "but its really this which I am about to make up right now"
Thats how destructoid works. They make things up
3DS forecasts went up. Not down. Its far outselling the ds. In prime positioning.
Its the ds and wii that are falling down according to the forecast.
The sales have been better in every region than the ds..........
And better placing too.
The 3ds has been in first place 4 out of 6 weeks in japan with 2 second places
I could never have said that about the ds
The 3ds is on the 100 mil pace and if you actually look at the numbers its supported. Its doing better than the ds by a few million units already.
The vita wont take any more marketshare than the psp did which was a ton in itself
The market for handhelds isnt shrinking. The entire pie is growing. Its the reason why the 3ds is outselling the ds at the same time. And its also the reason why the ds and psp are still selling
People want game mac...
welcome to the first year of any system
The snes, ds,ps2 were all like that. Systems that ended up having the greatest libraries of all
Dont worry. The 3ds is number 1 in japan with the ds lines and psp not far behind and in the US the 3ds is selling far better than the ds did during the same time period ( Were the ds selling 50k a month was common). Analysts have the 3ds on the 100 mil pace, and all is good in reality. In doom and gloom land there wont be handhelds anymore
Youll learn that you dont have to research or actually have a clue to right an article ( term I am using loosely this is really a blog of...
hahahahaha yeah right. The best games on Ios dont even touch the worst stuff you can get on the ds or psp
Yes you can do way more than just play games. To bad it doesnt play games well
Example: Chaos rings/omega are arguably the best rpgs on ios. They are 10 hours long, with shit controls, a decent story and decent gameplay
Then I can pick any one of 30+ ds/psp square games and pull out something thats deeper, longer, better controlled, and j...
Because everything youve said is either irrelevant or false
1) games get cancelled or delayed on all systems
read between the lines
capcom has cancelled the last 3 megaman games on systems not named the 3ds . So it stood to reason they would cancel this one. It has nothing to do wit the 3ds. It has everything to do with capcom. And we have solid dates for shinobi which got a 2 month delay which most games get. Metal gear according to kotaku h...
1) The 3ds has been in first place 4 out of 6 weeks in japan recently. Thats incredible for a brand new EXPENSIVE system.
The ds wasnt in first within the first 2 years regularly. Hell in the US it sold 50k in a month even after 6 months.........
2) "no sign of the big guns even four months later"
ITS BEEN FUCKING 4 MONTHS. THE DS HAD JACK SHIT TOO at the same point.
3) The region locking sucks. But the ps2 had that...
false OOT had new content
oh and fyi the game was only delayed in australia if recent reports from kotaku are to be believed
But this just gives haters an excuse to troll
theres more than 1 generic shooter out there
you mean boring shooter?
not really......Its a port. Thats not a big title
Let me know when there konamis original ip layton game gets cancelled.
Hes telling he truth
Doesnt make him a fanboy accept for hater logic.
I said exclusive
1) We havent seen the silent hill game
2) street fighter isnt exclusive
3) There is no exclusive kojima game
And why didnt you mention tales, dr laurec, dragon quest, final fantasy, pokemon, rune factory 4, and more are also on the horizon?
