3ds

This holiday session will be the first true test for the Nintendo 3DS. In the year 2007 Nintendo sold more then 653,000 Nintendo DS handhelds in Thanksgiving week (11/18/07-11/24/07) and then selling 2.47 million units in December, for a total of 8.5 million units throughout the entire year. Since the launch of the 3DS in march Nintendo has sold nearly 5 million 3DS handhelds worldwide 2.5 million coming from the north Americas. The price drop from 249.99 to 169.99 back in August really helped sales. Nintendo sold 235,000 that month. A month before the price drop Nintendo only sold 60,000 3DS handhelds. This holiday season will tell the story of the future of the 3DS if the 3DS cant sell during the holiday season then it is truly doomed. If developers see pore holiday sales expect to see more and more games canceled. With strong sales expect to see more and more 3rd parties announce triple A titles for 2012.
