More Moffit Talk: Nintendo’s priority for the holidays is 3DS

More summarization of the big ol’ Scott Moffitt article from earlier, this time about Nintendo’s overall strategy for the holidays.

Moffitt says that Wii U is NOT Nintendo’s number one priority for the holiday shopping season. The 3DS and 3DS XL are.

“We’re seeing an ever-growing momentum in our handheld business,” he said, “19 months in, we’re still a million units ahead of the pace of DS at this point in its life. As you know, DS was the best-selling gaming system of all time, and so we’re pleased with that.”

That really makes you wonder: Are people just over-exaggerating the trouble that dedicated gaming devices are in? If the 3DS is still a million units ahead of the DS, and the DS had had TWO holiday seasons by this time… it’s really tough to believe that iDevices are killing the handheld gaming market!
