or PSP, for that matter, if we are going to go with his comparison with 2007

Good job on Animal Crossing.
Legit shocked that Luigi's Mansion 2 and Donkey Kong Country 3D are showing some legs.

Nintendo's plan to get 3DS sales up in the US is working out great. Shows that their IPs still have selling power for dedicated game hardware in the smarphone/tablet era. It'll be interesting to see how that works out for the Wii U over the next 5 months.
Nice to see that a new IP like TLOU can still sell this well at the end of a generation too.

Digital sales are included in both the 115K and 108K numbers. So that means a larger percentage of LM
M sales came from digital than compared to DKCR3D.SolarPowered

Congrats to Naughty Dog.
I'm currently twelve hours into the campaign and TLoU definitely earned every single sale.

I wonder if WiiU will break 100k this year... wonder how much of a bump Last of Us gave hardware. Grats to Mojang and Naughty Dog.
lol Arthur is just picking fights for the hell of it?

No, that's not it. Again:
7. Donkey Kong Country Returns (3DS, WII) Nintendo
Don't they have to pay for the stock sitting on shelves or something like that? It's going to drag them down. As much as I wish Iwata luck with his goal I think priority one is just getting profitable and hopefully that doesn't come under fire. Once the dividends go out I think Nintendo can flex their creativity harder.

I haven't seen physical cards produced for them, but Nintendo advertises in store a lot about being able to purchase download codes from the registers at places like Gamestop and Best Buy, so the word is out there about them.
Talk about underestimating the power of Naughty God. What game coming out this month could dethrone it in July NPD? NCAA?

Man I wanna know TLoU sales, PS3 sales and WiiU sales

No, it's very possible that's true because NPD doesn't count digital sales. Of course, it could also be true that DKCR Wii sold ~7k copies. We won't really know for sure without more specific numbers
I said wow. 3DS will do nowhere near DS numbers.

It most certainly will in november and december. The question is can it ever break 100k in a non holiday month. Nintendo systems have a magical pull in the holidays which is why wiiu had a decent start
The Wii version added some sales but it's impossible to tell how much since Nintendo's numbers include digital and the NPD's don't.
It can be both.

The dedicated handheld market is much smaller, but it's nice to see it's not non-existent. At this point it probably won't shrink much more, right?
Do we know any range of digital sales for any game that's been released? Is it a tiny sliver of sales or does it actually make a dent. I'd love to know.
That could make somewhat of a difference, but would it really be a significant difference? We need someone to say what DKCR Wii sells.

I think it will to some point. Tablets are getting much cheaper so that you can get one for a kid and its much more economical. I think it will be at least 2 more gens before it not worth it for nintendo though.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
No console will ever again do DS numbers. Comparing anything to it isn't really fair. Its the PSP number thats probably the more interesting one.

I think my concern is are retailers even going to stock it enough to sell that much?

Mr.Dave here is good at plucking low hanging fruit, but today was not such a day.
I'd vote for him.
Nice numbers for 3ds, it had big titles available this quarter. Unfortunately it has sold less than half the sales of the DS in june 2007.
I wanted to see ps3 above 360 because of tlou but it didn't happen. Current gen console are starving at these prices, price cut now to sell like bread this fall with alle the big titles coming out, starting fpwith GTA V

Everything sold better back in 2007 (even with PS3 and Xbox360 slow start).

Is it bad that I giggled?
...oh gosh. That would be great.
The 3DS will be no DS, but it's still selling great given how the portable space is slowly shrinking. Those Nintendo IP are amazingly suited for portable experiences.
The 360 numbers are solid, and so should the PS3 numbers be.
The Vita and WiiU are probably dead outside of Japan.
Congrats to Naughty Dog, once again!

Fucking LoL at Gies. This guy never ceases to baffle...
The DS was the PS2 of handhelds. A once in a lifetime success story!

It would be bad if you didn't.
They probably make the Vita look like the 3DS.

I'm going to guess not good.
June was also the first month of availability for the Ouya, the Kickstarter-funded Android microconsole that kicked off a growing craze for Kickstarter-funded Android microconsoles. "Retail sales for Ouya (not counting direct sales through ouya.tv) and were relatively light for a new console," an NPD analyst Liam Callahan said in a statement. "This may be due to the lack of a major marquee title driving consumers to seek out the console, low awareness due to Ouya being a new brand, or low inventory volume due to manufacturing constraints."

WiiU's <36k to beat, chaps! And Vita's *dyinggurglenoise*k of course. The three way bout of dreams.

I'd giggle more if it was within 20,000 units of WiiU.
And they're selling like shit in Japan, too.
In America I think the lifestyle and home use will cause tablets to pressure things but worldwide it seems less likely. Smartphones have peaked though so I think any additional threat from there is less likely as they become more mundane like personal computers.

Where's CS, can we please get a MH3U update? I want to change my avatar. >.>
Such great number for the 3DS. But thats how it goes: Software sells hardware.
Also, good to see the Donkey Kong Country Returns port being well received as well!
People will go bananas for the Tropica Freeze!
Oh, you!
That'd be hilarious.
