A home console in second place yet again! Amazing! PSP is at the end of its rope, though, and just needs to hold out two more months. Help is on the way.

Good 3DS numbers, I'm impressed it's still over 50k. Nintendo shouldn't have much trouble staying atop the charts until Vita arrives.

And soundly. Like the ratio is almost 3:2, which is very, very impressive.

I wouldn't really call that domination but it's doing well after a 40% price cut... I think.

Well, it's at the top of the sales charts by a sizeable margin, I'd say that qualifies for the domination label.

Grand Knights History is unknown. If you go on various forums such as Atlus (Hahaha good luck they've been pretty meh recently)and NIS America people are pushing the game for localization though. SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked came out already.

The price drop just happened what 3 weeks ago. It will be around 2 months before we see if this actually holds up. It probably will since Mario games are right around the corner though.

I haven't posted about the 3DS sales ever before responding to your post so, I haven't been saying that. Price drops ALWAYS result in hardware having great sales for a certain period of time. The true test will come when the price drop factor leaves.

Ignition does subpar localizations (See Lux Pain and Arc Rise FantaSIA) so, people don't want it in their hands. Atlus Usa has been doing poor publishing recently outside of Atlus of Japan games so I don't see much happening there. NIS America is up in the air. Ignition would probably be the best bet but they're subpar.

it's definitely not dominating software sales, PSP is.

still, good number for the 3DS, and with the announced lineup...it's going to be huge by the end of this year.

9/20 games in the top 20 are PSP games.

I still think it has enough life when Vita enters.

DSO has already been released, even before it came out in Japan interesting enough. Hope GKH comes overseas through.

I'm sure many of these people who bought 3DS are pissed off at recent announcements. I also believe these announcements will result in slower 3DS sales.

Yes, but the decline was much more in line with what a more usual weekly decline might be. I think the system is stabilizing.
