3.6 million 3DS units *were not* sold to consumers, despite many saying they were.
If we look at these reported 3DS sales from Nintendo's investors meeting, many seem to believe these were 3DS sales as of March 31 (or April 25 as some say), sold through to consumers, according to Nintendo themselves. But are these sales in fact, shipped figures?
3DS Tribe add up non-Ninty 3DS hardware sales figures and find they don't add up.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
I swear the big three always give shipped figures because it sounds better. People need to remember figures we get are 9 times out of 10 shipped figures
DUH.
big difference sold and shipped . smh
NGP will sell 3.6 million ;)
Wow, this will destory the fans hopes. Anyways back to waiting for the new Mario game.
It's always Sold when your a fan of the company and Ship when you are not
PSP 2 or NGP is the one that really should sell big, as it has the power & proper technology to be the waaay better portable gaming console.
I will be getting the PSP2 over the 3DS ten fold, as PSP is an awesome bit of kit, & PSP2 looks to be a huge step up from PSP, as opposed to 3DS just being a slight step up from the DS with the gimmick of 3D to be it's Wii motion controller-like savior.
