If I'm correct, that's the OG 3DS. I think 3DS LL and PSV are pretty much in the same price.
If Nintendo could release new handheld hardware in 2004 (mind that DS launched before PSP), the real question is why they wouldn't release new handheld hardware in 2015.
but those vita memory cards...
What they need to revitalized 3DS is not a cheaper, and gimped version aka 2DS. It's a 3DSi with second circle pad that should do the job. Release a special bundle with MH4U and you'll see the sale skyrocketed again.
Different situation ten years later though.GBA release date
March 21, 2001
DS release date
November 21, 2004
3 years, 8 months difference
GBA sales LTD (end of third full fiscal year)
51.4m
3DS sales LTD (as of Dec 2013, one quarter less than listed GBA LTD)
42.74m
The software sales gap is similar.

I... actually want a JP 2DS. >_>
Unless there is a 3DS revision in the works is there really no chance of a new nintendo handheld say holidays 2015?
3DS LL 17,993
3DS 6,051
PS Vita 21,862
PS Vita TV 1,003

Considering how most households in Japan have only 1 TV, that was never the idea.Man, the Vita TV is such a waste. You'd think being a PS4 extender would be worth something but nope...

QOL isn't taking anyone away from game development and the next handheld is going to share a similar architecture with the Wii U so they can easily port games, engines and assets over.
never really got the point of vita tv, especially in japan where home consoles die.
If you could somehow stream your vita to the tv with it with minimal issues, that could be neat, but from what i can tell... you can't?
You have to physically take out the game from your vita put it in the tv... and the same for the memory card?

I can't take these threads seriously anymore with the amount of "championing" that goes on. It's rather sad because I used to enjoy reading these threads for non-fanboy war sales talk, but now it's all hashtags and annoying hit-n-run posts.
Regular 25k weeks are definitely cause for celebration. Sure, this weeks first place 'victory' is somewhat hollowed by the fact that everything else has died on its arse, but the numbers for the Vita are better than ever.Not sure if this a cause for celebration for diehard Vita fans though considering how low the numbers are.
Do you actually look at the numbers, or just guess?Vita people are annoying.
The numbers are either getting worse or stabilizing low. You're not celebrating an increase in sales, you're celebrating the competition dropping in sales.
I'd rather my preferred system sell more than for the rivals(s) to merely drop the ball.
But whatever.
Which Japanese devs? All of them? Nintendo seem to do alright with various IP, the last Fire Emblem was one of the biggest selling in the series so far and it's one of the most 'Japanese' IP they have, being a cartoony SRPG.Iwata has claimed to have solved the drought problem with every console since GameCube. Problem is he's only ever claimed to have done it, it's never actually happened.
Also, it's rather ironic that apparently the saving grace of the next handheld is that it will be easy to reuse console assets and do Wii-u ports. Isn't one of the standard Vita insults calling it a ports-only machine?
To be fair though, it's probably an architecture thing as I doubt there will be any worthwhile software on the Wii-U side to port by the time the new handheld comes around - unless we're talking ports of older games (which puts the handheld back in Vita port machine territory).
Japanese devs just need to learn to appeal outside their own territory and that doesn't necessarily mean going "dudebro" on everything either.
I think the main point was the price. It is sold for 10k yen (the version with a Dual Shock 3 controller included costs 15k yen), which is nearly half the price of a regular Vita. It also allows you to play Vita games on a bigger screen.never really got the point of vita tv, especially in japan where home consoles die.

Much of the celebration is because the Vita is doing better than what it used to do, so its not celebrating of that the competition is selling less. There would most likely be some celebration regardless of what the competition is doing.The numbers are either getting worse or stabilizing low. You're not celebrating an increase in sales, you're celebrating the competition dropping in sales.
This time I guessed so I could be corrected by you.Do you actually look at the numbers, or just guess?
I dont think there is much to worry about Vita at this point to be honest concidering how it sold in the first ~2 years.The Vita dropped despite a big selling week, surely that's worrying?
Is Titanfall selling 10k in its first week a victoly?
edit: Oh wait it's the 360 version... forgot the Xbone wasn't out in Japan yet.
Normally a game that sells over 100K for the Vita boosts HW sales by roughly 10k so this looks really bad.I dont think there is much to worry about Vita at this point to be honest concidering how it sold in the first ~2 years.
Anyone still think we won't hear about a 3DS successor soon?
I wonder when the last 360 game charted in Japan. Maybe GTAV?

This, why start over when despite the lower HW sales, SW seems to be doing well.I hope not as its going to piss off all the devs who are on board with the 3DS now. And with how long it took for the 3DS to take off replacing the DS yeah dont think its the best business move for Nintendo to make. Also with how in general its fully apparent that there is competition from smartphones here. Trying to get folks to shell out yet again for another handheld which will have a sparse selection of launch titles / line up for a while isnt going to fly well.

Well its not like the 3DS has a ton of 3rd party support right now and the system had a slow start after launch because of being way overpriced in addition to having a bad line up.
Ground Zeroes actually!
