It's because it's quite cheap now

Now obviously good games don't hurt, but the software attach rate for the 3DS is quite low (45.42 Million games / 17.13 million consoles). A lot of people are buying 3DSs and not buying games for it. I'm in that category, myself.

So far, it's a stark contrast to the DS (900.31 million games / 151.52 million consoles) and the Wii (818.46 million games / 95.85 million consoles).

The attach rate thing is common when a system is only 1 year old, it always rises with time. Think about it, the active users out of those 17m units sold will continue to purcahse software for the system for years to come, and thus increase the attach rate.

[QUOTE="SakusEnvoy"] Exactly. The most important reason why it's selling well is because it's $169 and a DS successor. It's been selling well ever since the price cut, even though there were only a couple good games available then.

Well, 3DS software is more expensive and DS didn't have eShop.

Sure, it's a legitimate concern, maybe it'll get back on track once they start releasing some games outside Japan :P

Also when DS was a little over a year, it had two holidays in NA/JP as opposed to one holiday period for 3DS, probably explains alot.

It's selling because of the GAMES... (Not Skype, FaceBook, or Twitter... SONY)
