Nintendo 3DS sales fall short of company prediction - 3DS

Nintendo sold just over 3.5 million 3DS consoles up to April 2011 that's half a million short of their expected 4 million unit sales prediction.


Nintendo blamed the public's lack of understanding for the figures - I blame the high cost of games - you can buy great games for little cash on mobile phone platforms.

As predicted here, I won't be surprised if Apple bring out a 3D iPhone soon to compete directly with the console makes.

Having tried the 3DS I was impressed but I find it had to justify the high price of games.

The 3DS has also come into criticism over users feeling ill after playing the new device, a claim disputed by Nintendo.

Personally I would love a 3D phone and think it will be around sooner rather than later, hey what about a 3D Angry Birds video game or 3D pictures on your mobile?
