I think there are more important things going on in Japan right now. That could be part of it.

I think the PSP is actually rising in sales

It's probably just because there is nothing on the 3DS yet

-3DS has no 3D killer ap
-Price is high
-Earthquake/tsunami/killer radiation cloud has put a damper on things

It's got a new Layton and a new Nintendo Dogs, which were both breakaway million selling successes on the OG DS. What more can it have to help sales? Monster Hunter or a new mainline DQ (both of which haven't been announced for the system)?

It needs NEW ORIGINAL COMPELLING software. Not another entry in a long-winded series and an upconverted port/sequel of game that stopped being new and exciting over five years ago.

Nintendo dogs doesn't sell because soccer mom who has a pet dog on her nintendo dogs isn't going to shell out $300 just for a new version when her current dog is good enough for her.
Layton sold fine but it sells fewer each game because every game more people realize that Hino writes distinguished mentally-challenged stories and they want to stop giving him money for it.

I nearly bought one of these today after trying it out at the store but then when I started to look for a game to buy along with it I couldn't find anything that's worth a damn. 45 bucks for Pilotwings?  Hell fucking no.

I'll check back next year when they actually have games for this.

Got mine.  8)

Initial impressions: gaddamn this thing is fucking glossy.  Sometimes its a good thing, but with how self-conscious I am about finger prints, I'm gonna bo super ADD on this bitch.

More on hardware: My hinge is perfect, as is my circle pad.  It's really quite incredible how much Sony fucked up their nub on the PSP after playing with this thing.  Really great analog stick for a portable.  My d-pad is good but its placement is something I'll have to get used to, especially for older DS games.

Cameras are of course hideous, but meh.  The top screen really is quite wonderful, and the 3D works even better after you calibrate the cameras and stuff.  I really like how the text and selection options pop out – I've actually found that I enjoy that more than some of the Mii 3D stuff, heh.  Faceraiders is way too fucking funny, its my favorite built in software.  AR Cards are whatever.

Getting SFIV tomorrow in the mail.  We'll see how I like it.

I think if I got one given to me I'd enjoy it for a few days then put it away like I did with my DS and  (PSP :`( )

I don't even know if a good range of software would get me interested.

I'm a pretty fidgety person so I move around my handhelds a lot... of course with the 3DS, it seems even the slightest bit of movement disrupts the image sending me to headache city... that plus the lack of compelling software makes me want to wait for a hardware revision. Also the NGP really killed a lot of the excitement I had about this, especially if the current trend of PSP amazingness carries over to the new handheld.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
But that $1600 check from the gubmit is certainly burning a hole in my pocket... so who knows? I might pick one up soon.

So, Spotpass is definitely compatible with foreign units, been swapping shit from Japanese people when I go outside.  Heh, pretty impressive how I can usually get at least one tag when I go outside, even if I'm just going into a business district or something.  I'm sure I'd have lots of fun if I went to Akihabara.

Quote
"[Microsoft and Nintendo] are starting to run out of steam now in terms of continuing to be relevant in 2011 and beyond," Tretton said. "I mean, you've gotta be kidding me. Why would I buy a gaming system without a hard drive in it? How does this thing scale? Motion gaming is cute, but if I can only wave my arms six inches, how does this really feel like I'm doing true accurate motion gaming?"

Sony appears to be once again following its cutting-edge tech philosophy with the PSP successor, the codenamed Next Generation Portable. The NGP will have high-end features, including 3G and wi-fi support, a five-inch multi-touch OLED display, a multi-touch pad on the back, dual analog sticks, flash card support for software, motion sensors, built-in GPS and a four-core CPU, among other features.

At least one analyst expects the NGP to cost "at least" $299 in the U.S. When it launches later this year, it will go head-to-head against Nintendo's $250 3DS. Tretton previously said that price doesn't "make or kill a platform" -- the challenge is providing value for consumers.

Tretton also called Nintendo's market-leading handheld consoles a "great babysitting tool," adding that "no self-respecting 20-something is going to be sitting on an airplane with one of those. He's too old for that."


He attacked  xbots,but in this case I approve...he must be reading Evilbore :smug

Back in '94 my family went to Israel.  Long, long flights...multiple stops in Europe to get there.  At the France airport, I broke out my Game Gear, and this kid sitting next to me playing his Gameboy went wide-eyed and said " *GASP* JE GAME JEAR!!!!  WOOOOOooooooowwwwww!!!"  :rofl

Then I hit a store and bought Powerstrike II, which was just awesome.

Ghost Recon is a bad ass game.  Really enjoying it.  Can't get the shaking feeling though I'm playing a DS game with a 3D skin on top.  Of course the ironic thing is if Shadow Wars were not moved from DS to 3DS I probably would not have played it so I'm not too mad about the port up.

First 2 days in UK...113k
Europe(UK included)...303k(4 days,i think)

Nintendo is pretty quiet about sales figures though.Too much money for mainstream i guess,parents with three kids=$750 minimum and everybody today has some mobile phone...hmm

Sony(Tretton) was always vocal like this when things didn't go according to the plan.I guess that year of the PS3 is under-performing.

Year of the 3DS is  under-performing too,but Nintendo losing mainstream gaming influence quickly=hell freezing

June/July has Zelda, Resident Evil The Mercenaries, Devil Survivor Overclocked, and you might as well add DOA Dimensions since it ships on 5/31.

Word, Nomad was straight pimp.  Since it took standard batteries you could just buy a roll of cheapies at Radioshack and easily play longer than any handheld lets you today.

I bought a Nomad out of a clearance bin at Toys 'R' Us for $50 way back when, and sold it years later with couple of games for (if I remember correctly) around $250

Without exact figures for two of the three major regions, all we can do is speculate, but it's clearly underperforming expectations, possibly by as much as 50%.

Software seems to be doing alright though, I think SSF43D has outshipped any other individual version.  Nintendo Dogs is the big loser.  Can't say I'm upset about that state of affairs.

Not to worry.  When Nintendo releases Pokemon Amethyst and Opal, hardware sales will explode.
