It doesn't have the innovative hook that drew people en masse to the Nintendo DS, and is going to be affected (at least in a very small way) by smartphone/tablet gaming.

I'm guessing 113.8m



Will eclipse GBA, so I'll say 91 mil for 3DS.

120m sounds realistic to me.



My Prediction

2011⇒ 12.5mil (around)
2012⇒ 13.8mil (around)
2013⇒ 20.0mil [5.6mil currently(33.3mil). I'll go with my prediction that i said since jan!]
2014⇒ 16.5mil
2015⇒ 14.0mil
2016⇒ 13.5mil
2017⇒ 12.0mil
2018⇒ 11.0mil
2019⇒ 6.0mil (3DS Successor comes out!)
2020⇒ 2.5mil (Fades out)

Lifetime around = 121mil! I think this gen will last longer, Minimum i see is 100mil /// maximum 140mil!

2014 will still sell good with 2ds, hopefully one more 2ds model, doesn't necessarily have to be an XL! With SSB+ Monolith secret title i think good numbers

2015 will have pokemon Z!!! I think it'll still do well but decline

2016 will have ruby/sappire remakes!
