3DS is going to end its second year down YoY despite not being on the market a full year in 2011. the dedicated handheld market is still alive but it is far from amazing which is especially true when you look anywhere that isn't japan.

the days for dedicated handhelds are numbered.

No it´s not.

yes it will.

What do you want to bet?


sure, we use vgchartz numbers up the the week ending on december 29th so it corresponds with last year's numbers ending on the december 30th.

2 days is a lot, maybe we can take the 20% of the first week of January?


we compare like for like.  52 weeks with 52 weeks.  i'm not comparing 365 days to 367 days.

Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise

i was talking about where i have carley rae jepson.  can i add that text (replacing my next gen prediction and R&C quote) but still keep all my beautiful women?  i'm not sure i can go a month without marykate, ashley, and emma.  i could go a month without carley.



I get the feeling Nintendo in general will become more and more Japan centric, that seems to be where they are finding the core part of their success these days and that's the market that seems to agree most with their hardware philosophies (less emphasis on graphics, smaller, more power efficient, etc.).

Looks like it only needs to average 700k each week over the next 3.   It just did 682k and the next 2 weeks will be bigger.  It shouldn't have a problem averaging 800k+ over that period.
