Wow, 3DS software is not looking good. This is the first time I've seen a hyped system like this start very well and then drop like a rock.

PSP and DS had somewhat similar post-launch slumps. Hopefully when the software starts hitting in May then 3DS will start moving again.

Well, the only major May title is DOA:D. It'll be interesting to see how that impacts sales, but June will be particularly telling in all territories.

The more I think about this, the more I come to the conclusion that, while the lack of must-have software is a huge problem, the bigger problem is the MASSIVE resurgence of the PSP thanks to MHP3rd.

I mean, we knew it'd be big, but outselling DQIX (as far as I'm aware)? It's hard to see this wearing off any time soon. Zelda and Star Fox are not going to bump it much, I doubt DOA is going to move much, and I don't know of any huge 3rd party or Nintendo games coming out really soon for it.

I forsee these sales stalling/getting worse until October-ish. At least in Japan anyway...

No, you're right. I'm not so optimistic about the eShop, since (AFAIK) it'll require manually downloading the necessary firmware update, but maybe it'll do something for sales if Nintendo gives it a major marketing push.

I think Tales, Zelda, DOA, Star Fox and some other releases should bump the 3DS somewhat but I'm not expecting fireworks untill Mario Kart comes out.

Getting hardware driving blockbusters is important, but having a healthy lineup of A-grade filler is just as important. 3DS looks to be getting the latter starting this summer, which should at least help stem the current bleeding.

Having just one or the other leads to the situations we see with Wii and PS3 respectively. PSP's riding high right now thanks to both variables.

Eshop confuses me, here we are less then 25 days away from the launch of it and we know almost nothing.

Yeah, Nintendo really should have made more of an effort to get the quality titles out faster. As it stands it looks like 3DS launch prematurely just for the sake of having it out before end of fiscal year 2010...

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I'm guessing there'll be a worldwide announcement next week (I thought it might be this week, but NCL is unlikely to announce anything during Golden Week), but knowing Nintendo, it could come even later than that.

I think projections on Nintencats and Layton 5 were probably a lot higher than what the results have been. Both probably should've been blockbusters.

I know Nintendo couldn't have predicted the quake, but you'd think they'd have a "plan B" ready incase 3DS didn't get off the ground the way they wanted. Instead, it really seems like they just pushed everything back a month in response. :/

Watch DQMJ become a million-seller, lol.

EDIT: Maybe it's benefiting from the 3DS, that game screams for an analog disc.

hm, i wonder if Sony will change anything in their strategy with PSP2 after 3DS numbers...
Click to expand...

the most they can do is price it really cose to the 3DS and have the big titles ready for launch and in a constant release rate.

iwata's price raising because of e3 reactions and delaying several first party games bite him in the ass hard. OoT should have been among the launch lineup like SM64DS on DS and the system should have been $200. now they can't backpedal on the price anytime soon and it won't be till june until "big guns" hit.

It'n not only MHP3. PSP benefits from the complete lack of software for DS. It's May and Joker is basically the first big title this year (second if you count Edgeworth 2) when there have been numerous for PSP.

PSP is still in stock at amazon and Zelda is currently sold out.

Patapon 3 has scored pretty well with Famitsu, and really emphasizes the community aspect of the PSP, so it's not really surprising it's debuting higher than El Shaddai.

I'm not saying it's surprising, just that it doesn't make me very optimistic.

I hope Patapon 3 has done better than those two.
But if it doesn't that means I'm pretty close with my "El Shaddai under 20k" comment.

Meh. The next Pokemon's on 3DS plus eventual transition of Nintendo brands will make the 3DS out-perform the PSP in the long run....

The problem with that comparison is that the DS had Nintendogs hitting around 2 weeks ago, launch aligned, and the PSP didnt recover for nearly a year

I think there are more PS2 sales than that, but Oricon seems to have some cutoff level. The February or March numbers had games that would've had to have sales in earlier months in 2011, but didn't show up in the listing.
