i think you are right -- the 2 to 3 month advantage of the DS matched with every console having a slow first year (probably due to a relative lack of must-have software) will probably mean the DS outsells the 3DS this year.  highly doubtful that will happen again in 2012.

It won't happen in 2012 for SURE, unless Microsoft blows up all 3DS warehouses.

well, the 3DS could be a complete flop i suppose.  i guess it depends on if anyone still cares about 3D -- from my anectocal experience with friends people seem to have stopped caring about it in a theatrical setting at least. 

but yeah, i very highly doubt that possibility.

...and if anyone were to blow up the 3DS warehouses it would be sony. 

But Microsoft would want to destroy them because handhelds are in direct competition to the Ipad/ Iphone, therefore they are a threat to  Apple, and the one that wants to personnaly destroy Apple is Microsoft and no one else.

Microsoft isn't even the strongest or most feared competitor of Apple anymore.

 

The two companies that have a shot at Apple are Google and Amazon.

They ofter a lot of technology similar to Apple, in some cases they were on the market earlier and they are competiting strongly on prices, most of the time being cheaper and a lot more open than Apple ( gotta love when everyone is amazed that they can finally get the songs they purchase on itunes on all devices automatically thanks to ICloud. I've been able to get every e-book I purchase on Amazon on every device for free for over a year( and I don't have to pay a monthly subscription for 3G..)..

On top of that they are two very powerfull brands very well liked by customers, like Apple..

Microsoft will never compete on being more opened or on price so they have no shot at Apple.
