The following comments and information comes from GameStop president Tony Bartel...
"We were very excited about 3DS when it launched. [It] was one of the highest market shares we've ever had for a Nintendo launch at 45 percent. We were excited about market share. I think there have been reports that the numbers are lagging from what the expectations were in the U.S., and I think our results will be in line with that. In [fiscal] Q2 [ending July], we do expect we will fall slightly short of what we expected. We were excited at the launch, but in Q2 we believe it will slightly lag [behind] our expectation. ...but it hasn't been a significant increase in there (portable sales in general). We anticipate the 3DS is going to continue to be the hottest handheld platform for at least the second quarter."
