Like jeep mentioned earlier, this years loss was kind of a perfect storm: the earlier than anticipated 3DS price cut, Wii sales and software sales falling off a cliff because the platform is dead, slow 3DS software sales because the current quality of the 3DS software library is lagging behind the DS's library at the same point in its lifecycle, and of course smartphone games sucking all of the air out of the portable gaming sphere.


I would add the 3DS itself isn't that intriguing. There were a lot of differences between the GBA and the DS. The 3DS adds a 3D gimmick which barely works and an eshop. Why would anyone bother upgrading?
