Can the PS4 outsell the 3DS?

I say : No way if the 3DS stays on the market and, yes, if Nintendo launches a new handheld within the next 3 years.

What do you guys think?



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I agree with you - I think Nintendo will be searching for a second win with the 3ds in the next year or so, either with a strong software line up or a 3ds revision. If they cannot - they will likely begin diverting resources into their next endeavour



it will outsell it quite easily.



Both has potential to be a next 100m+ console, so I'd go with both yes and no. It mostly comes down to the points you already mentioned, how long Nintendo will have their console on the market. If they "kill it off" around 80m, then yes PS4 would most likely sell more lifetime.

If the 3DS lives long enough it could probably sell more than the PS4.

The PS4 will have a long life though.

So I'd give it a 50/50 with a lot of "but's" and "if's".

If I just follow my gut, then yes, PS4 will sell more than the 3DS. I think Nintendo will discontinue it "early enough" for the PS4 to get enough space and time to pass it.



The 3DS will mostly likely cap out at 60 million judging by the current rates so there is a chance that the PS4 may beat it.

I agree 100%.

Lol, yes, any way, ps4 is locked for over 100m, 3ds is locked for under 90m.



Nintendo 2018

English is not my native language.

Yes.

It will have a much longer life than the 3DS.



The PS4 will easily outsell the 3DS......... unless DQXI becomes a 3DS exclusive...

Just compare the upcoming list of software for both platforms. And there's also the fact that 3DS has almost reached its lowest possible price with 2DS. PS4 sales pace is still good at 400€, so imagine what it can be at 250-300€ with an extensive library.
