Those are near launch numbers. There will be a dip, corresponding to the software drought. What's gonna sell that 1 million a month all the way until october? You must expect Zelda and Starfox remakes to really drive hardware. Mario Kart is a holiday game.
BTW, you can add 31,000 from Australia, but i dunno where you got those EU numbers from. Last i saw was 303,000 across EU. Got a link for the 618K EU number?

At the end of 2012? If it was coming at the end of 2011, I'd agree with you.Metalmurphy said:

The Wii still has a few things that could sustain it until 2012. Such as dropping the price, colors and bundles. Of course most importantly software which is why it's sales are falling and nothing can really help it right now because most of 2011 and 2012's release schedule are already planned out. However, there could be games such as Zelda to give it a little boost.Hazelhurst said:
Remember it took many console bundles, price drops and complete system relaunches with Slim versions, different marketing and major motion accesories to get the competitor products to outsell the Wii and the Wii is still a long way ahead overall WW than either two competitors.

Guys, by the PR posted by SONY can someone assume that it sold between 300,000 units?

Interesting . . . . 4 of the top 5 games are not from Nintendo. (Of course they didn't have very many launch titles at all.) Is Nintendo trying to get more 3rd party support by holding back?

Please don't use poor 3DS advertising as an argument guys
If I see that damn commercial with the guy playing AR games another time, I'm going to go nuts. People also argued back with Killzone 2 that there was no advertising when I saw that slow-mo bullet ad 500 times a day.
Nintendo is a victim of its own success with the 3DS. The DS is still selling like gangbusters and kids don't have a reason to upgrade. I'd wager that the average age of a 3DS owner compared to DS owners is significantly higher.

not really.
Wii has one problem.
Software. And not only lack of third party software. Nintendo's own release schedule for q1 and q2 is completely barren.
It is good that systems with no games dont sell as well as systems with games. Same thing with 3DS. Smart consumers are better for the industry than fanboys buying systems for hardware or the promise of software. It is good to see wii struggle and 3ds not lighting the world on fire. while nintendo did a lot of good things with both systems, they did not do enough and have had it way too easy. (and im not ready to upgrade from a DS yet!)

gaf always put WAY too much emphasis on the importance for advertising on hardware sales. in the long run, what matters are the games. when 3ds games come out that ppl want to play and cant play on DS, they will consider upgrading. right now there are very little reasons.

Thats what i thought, so the OP can be updated, stating that PS3 sold around 350,000 units in March, and that isn´t too bad at all.

Is it correct to say that the 3DS under preformed world wide. Nintendo did gave any expectation or anything.

Really? I haven't seen it, did they show any other games?KarmaCow said:
I did also see a dedicated commercial for SSF4 once late at night. Was weird, kinda long and more like a trailer than the usual tv ad.

Obviously Nintendo will need to instill the fact that this is a new system to the public, but I think when the games come, people will buy it. By the time Christmas comes, it will have games that people are going to want to buy, so I expect that it will pick up in sales. It will just take word of mouth, and a lot of advertising, to make people see it's not another revision.

And look at the IPs. Steel Diver? New. Pilotwings? Relatively weak.lunchwithyuzo said:

Not the same as, Sell-in number, as stated in the SONY PR, so somebody is wrong or is Jim Reilly or Sony, you decide.

Nintendogs? Might be weak in retrospect, but before launch people expected it to be the biggest seller. Pilotwings looks to have done okay, but it's definitely a more secondary support sort of title.speculawyer said:
The real problem is that Nintendo didn't have a bigger, fuller action or adventure game to round out the lineup. Like Mario or Zelda, which is something every previous successful Nintendo system had there day one. That's the problem, Nintendo launched 3DS with the sorts of games that'd usually help support that one big central title. It's like if they had launched SNES with Pilotwings, F-Zero and Sim City, but no Mario World.

Good point. They'll just have to hope that they can have some game come out that makes people want to buy the 3DS, like the DS, but it's gonna take a lot of different factors for it to start selling at a high rate, then just one game.
The other thing they really need to try to do is to make people realize that it's not just another version of the DS, but rather a new system, and that the DS wont be having games made for it anymore in due time. I know price is hurting it too, but not sure what they can do about that right now. Either way people will buy an expensive system if the games are good on it anyways.

The 3DS's problem is the price.
Nintendo got WAY to cocky.
$199 should have been the price....at most.

Yes, I want to know where these shipments of Move are going. I like your theory though.
Shipped numbers are ridiculously untrustworthy though.
