Best selling open period of a games console?

I think it is. Well, it's not a game console, but iPad's are used for gaming most of the time.

Not even close to what the iPhone 4s did so no.

they need to add achievements to siri.
Think it sold about 30 million units last year. And there are predictions ipads'll top 50 million this year. So basically, just draw a line pointing at the sky, and that's your sales figure for these things.

I thought it was used for news most of the time.
Oh shit!
I'm holding out on upgrading my iPad 2 til next year. Wonder if the NEWER iPad 2013 will triple the third's sales.
DAT RESALE VALUE. If you'd chosen to upgrade from 2>3 when the rumors started, you could've done so for less than $200.

It's not really that impressive considering the new iPad rolled out worldwide while the last one didn't. Impressive in Apple terms of course.
Except I'm not? 3 million sold is 3 million sold. All I've posted here are facts.

And in 12 months most of the people who bought these will be
planning to offload them before paying once again for another iPad with 1 or 2 new features.
Lol, it's a hell if a system that apple has. smh

Sold my 2 base model on release week of the 3 for 350. Apple upgrades are really rather affordable.
You can wait 5 years for that, MISTER

So it's at best $200 every year and a half/2 years?
And then the Vita is expensive, phew.

But then there wouldn't be reactions like this.

Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo could only hope in their wildest dreams to sell 3 million pieces of hardware in 3 days. Wow, Apple truly is killing them.

Not a single one of those 3 million bought it because of games.

PSO for Vita. He's trying to make a funny, I think.

Only in the US. iPad 3 is worldwide. There was a 12 hour wait every single day for the iPad 2 at the San Francisco when I bought mine. With the iPad 3 people can walk into stores and pick one up in half an hour.

don't try that shit, i can see that you're insinuating that apple should buy out Nintendo, MS, and Sony and control the entire gaming and computing industries.

Portables? I guess you missed the memo. The iPad is a computer killer. And a console killer. And a portable killer.
The thing is they hold their value. People were taking a hit of $100 or less on selling their iPad 2 devices during the weeks running up to the announcement of the iPad 3. $100 to trade up to the new model? That's pretty damn good.
Half of the top ten sellers in the iPad App Store are games. But okay.
Yes, cause the iPad is really breaking ground on the segment of people that like to play games with actual buttons, given the unit has none of them.

And also the best handheld to. What other handheld has the HBO Go App AND 7Th Guest?
If you so choose, yes. This was my first iPad and will be my last until something significant changes (YMMV). And I've certainly never called the Vita expensive, I think it is well priced for its feature set.

That's right, but it has games that made me play much more time than 3DS or Vita, for example.
I love physical controls but, for a quick ten minutes play, iPad haves anything I need (and much, much cheaper).
If they just allow developers to use BT controllers, they would destroy the portable gaming market.
tablets will definitely be replacing computers. it's inevitable.

I guess I'm a nobody then =/
Sold my base iPad 2 for $300 the day before the new one arrived. Though honestly, I probably would have held off on upgrading if I hadn't found I needed more than 16GB of storage.
