itll get bigger
Even with a new 3DS model, I kinda expected sales to slow down. Quality in games this year do not compare to last year and it's getting old now. No long until it gets replaced, but it will still keep widening the gap between the 2 consoles. God knows what was in Sony's head when they decided to bring out new colors rather than games, but whatever. I get tired of slamming their support for the Vita because I still think the Vita is a seriously nice console, but my god I've seen a company support their own console so poorly.
Yeah, Nintendo kind of seemed to abandon the bigger budget 3DS themselves this year, outside of ports and seemingly quick to produce games.
It's actually leveling out a bit more recently, I recall a time when it was almost 10:1 in the 3ds favour, now it's lucky to be 2/3:1
Yeah, the gap is growing at a slower pace since months ago, and despite the New3DS models...
Sadly SONY forgot Vita on the West long ago, if not, could be gearing for a epic comeback since half and year ago when 3DS sells began to slowdown... Like PS3 with X360.
How comes the gap it's been increasing slower with 3ds getting a lot of games and redesigns plus sony dropping the support, i don't get it
