people started buying it due to lots of special bundle or offers (3ds+5 poor games 159 euros, or just the system at 129euro)... Also the fact that it's IMPOSSIBLE to find a ds, dsi or dsxl anywhere is helping a lot :lol: how are things for 3ds in your country?
In Germany a bare unit is 159€, or a little more with some crappy games it's between 169€ and 200€, depending on the number and crappiness of said games. There is still a lot of DSi and DSi XL units available, and a lot of demand for those.
Slow burning start, momentum is building. It won't be the same what with the different gaming market (thanks to the iPhone), but the 3DS is gonna stick around. We'll see how it goes, month by month.
Please! ask any POS blogger out there and he'll go medieval on your ass for saying the iphone has anything but the.best.games.ever Its actually overrated, have you played GTAIII on iOS?
