GAF won't be down, BELIEVE!
I'm tempted to predict that 3DS will be the top-selling system of the month.
Yeah, also thanks to Animal crossing, besides I would tend to think handhelds may be more appealing in the warmest months of summer.
Pachter's predictions:
Xbox 360 = 124K
3DS = 123K
PS3 = 95.7K
NDS = 41K
Wii = 34K
Wii U = 32K
PSV = 15K
This is going to be bad. Epic kinds of bad. And with last year's comp numbers, are we talking -35% or worse? This will be interesting to watch.
I mean what was the major game of the month?
For your information, the launches of Luigis Mansion: Dark Moon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity in late March improved the situation for Nintendo 3DS in the U.S.
The successive releases of other much-anticipated titles since then have more than doubled total first-party software sales counting from April compared to last year. Thanks to the revitalized Nintendo 3DS software market, the sales pace of the hardware has also showed a year-on-year increase since April in spite of a sharp decrease in the size of the entire U.S. video game market.
