Sony finds 3DS sales “encouraging”
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The PlayStation Vita has been having a tough time in Japan these past few weeks. Sony, however, is remaining positive. This is partially due to the recent success of the 3DS.
SCEE president and CEO Jim Ryan told MCV that the 3DS’ big sales during Christmas “is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device.” Ryan’s comment was likely in response to analyst predictions that handhelds made for gaming – like the 3DS and Vita – will eventually be phased out.
Ryan’s full remarks are as follows:
“One of the encouraging things about 3DS’ sales performance at Christmas is that it is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device. And to that extent we were encouraged by how 3DS did over the last month.”
Ryan also said that “There are two distinct markets” when asked if the appetite for 3DS poses a danger to Vita.
