Forums - Sales Discussion - Can 3DS outsell PSP (lifetime)?

 

Which handheld will end up with more sales (lifetime)?

PSP 69 10.27%
 
3DS 522 77.68%
 
About even 81 12.05%
 
Total:672

3DS, easily too. PSP has done great though on the hardware side. 80 million is no simple feat.

Maybe, it will be pretty close.

The real question is what would have to happen for 3DS not to outsell the PSP.

For it to continue its current trajectory.

DS was supported for 7 years...its only been 3 years for the 3DS and its over half way to beating the PSP, if it stays on this trajectory its gonna easily pass the PSP.



In Japan 3DS will surpass it by end f this year and WW sometime in 2016

In its 7th (full year) Nintendo shipped 6.5m DS's. That's inline with the estimates Pezus posted up there.

Also, it's down YOY. With Pokemon and 2DS. So no the current trajectory does not suggest it'll outsell PSP.

Why don't you bother doing some research instead of just believing it will?



 

LOL people voting for 3DS.
The handheld peaked already, its going downhil from here. Its not gonna be as long as the DS on the market.

That's way too soon. Unless you expect 40m sales in 2 - 3 years. That's 13-20m sales on average per year.

Would have said mid 2017 but that feels ages away, at least it will do it in Japan pretty much by end of year to spring 2015.  Especially if XI coems sooner than expected.

Its not down, 3DS sold more in 2013 than it did in 2012, "why don't you bother doing some research?"

It'll be adjusted.

You don't ship less every Q yet end up selling more YOY.

 


2012 2013
Q1 2.1 1.24
Q2 1.86 1.4
Q3 3.2 2.49
Q4 7.65  (7 - 8m max)

Sell through is around 6.7m (actually might be less than that) for Q4, so shipments should be around 7.5m.
