Doomed! Nice to see the 3DS XL selling well. I would consider these sales good since sales of software went up. Also nice to see me getting the first comment instead of Legend of Santiago

So it was below 10,000 on its first day? That sounds bad what's normal of a one day launch total?

Still surprised so many are enthralled by a simply bigger screen [especially for such a cost], tbh.

@Steel Diver that's nice, but why did you change "yay" to all that?

Yay is a classy way of getting first comment in quickly

Edit: @Frank how about I only do it on Michael Pachter posts? Is that okay?

Um, yeah, this:

Less than 10,000 on launch day really doesn't sound impressive enough to gloat. Which brings me on to: please would you stop with the sarcastic 'Doomed' nonsense, it comes across as childish.

1. It's the UK. Only 70,000,000 people and sales are never overly high
2. It was the first day of the olympics so the mindless masses were glued to that
3. The UK is in a giant recession atm
