Locked Wrote:The 3DS has sold 32.48 million copies in 2.5 years. Meanwhile the DS, DS Lite, DSi, DSi XL have sold a combined total of 153.93 million over the span of 9 years. I don't consider that ~~underperforming~~.
Spoiler: The only other competition in the 8th generation (the Vita) has only sold 2.2m copies as of last year (July 2012), I'm too lazy to get a more recent figure but it doesn't even scratch the surface of the ~~underperforming~~ handheld.
I don't know if you're joking or not. The market went to smartphones and tablets, not the vita. When it's missed every target nintendo has set, and is significantly behind the ds at an equivilant time (3ds is at 32.5m, ds was nearing 47m), then yes it is underperforming compared to what nintendo thinks it should be selling.
Last i checked (stupid u browser means no pdfs so can't be sure right now) the 3ds is set to be tied for worst performing major nintendo handheld in sales. Major means no virtual boy before someone says it.
