Which is why the 3DS is doing pretty well because of what it is up against.. :/

The difference ebtween the GBA 6th years and the DS 6trh years is that the GBA got replaced early by the D will the 3DS is still Nintendos #1 Platform right now.

But yeah compared to the GBA the 3DS has done pretty close to the GBA in sales.

No one should had its own opinion...Eh?

If 3ds successor sells better what will you say? If it sells less instead, I won't say anything, since my opinion  isn't combined with dogmatism, I aknowledged that it could sell less ! How much less could it sell by your opinion?

Who cares for last gen? What about home consoles? Their aggregate sales were 275m? How much for 8th gen? 165m? 110 less and 10m more than what PS2 sold alone? Oh dead, dead, dead!

All comparisons are welcomed but it doesn't mean that all of them are fair and indicative!

As for the gba and its lifetime... Keep in mind that ds lite was released in the end of 2006, if you know what I mean...

I know, I know! However, as I aforesaid, ds lite  was released in the end of 2006... ;)

He has written an ''unbiased'' article... hahaahah!

I wish Nintendo to never repeat again so huge and abnormal successes like with wii and ds because if they will fall again, they will be traduced again and their reputation will be way more wounded!

Nonetheless it's impressive that the 3DS can have most of that revenue.  c

This. and lol. I follow Zhuge and i believe he is one of my best friend on internet. (internet)

What i love from this guy is how he usually is interesting and objective with sales numbers, that's why is ridiculus when i read stuff like this.

Let's be serius. 3DS death? What could be the definition of "death".

Cause if you like it or not, worldwide actually, 3DS is doing about the same as the Xbox one. Looking at that TERRIBLE May NPD, i would say 3DS is doing even way better recently. (not to mention the 3DS is a 6 years old system VS a 3 years old system)

Is XBO death then? According to Zhuge, nope, then why is 3DS death?

XBO is exatly THE SAME 3DS situation.

XBO is doing better than the 360, humm so? What sold the 360 lifetime, something near 90 million? Well, XBO is gonna be lucky to sell half of that, JUST like 3DS was selling better than DS at first, and now will end with a >50% drop.

The only only difference here is that DS is DS... aka the bigger console ever with the PS2. 360 sold amazing, yes, too bad NOT THAT amazing, so a 50% drop from the 360 is WAY worse than a 50% drop for the DS.

Let's be serius pls, even PS3 sold just a bit more than half of PS2 lifetime sales, you seriusly call death and flop a console which will end with about 70 million LT or so?

Lol we get it. Handhelds are not so much poupular like one time. JUST like home console aren't, and no, you can't not count the Wii in this comparation, you must count all consoles.

Zhuge predict a lifetime total of about 150 million between PS4, XBO, and Wii U (which seem even relasonable in my opinion), this is an abissal drop from the 270-280 million of PS3, 360, and Wii.

And also looks like it won't only be Nintendo fault, cause even XBO will have a massive drop compared to the 360.

Really, the only console which will do better than the last generation is the PS4. So what should this mean? Nintendo will die, Microsoft will leave the console market and Sony remain the only one to make console.

please... 

I feel like the whole $2.8 for handhelds was my Vita spending last year. I won't every spend a penny on mobile, but I spend a good $200+ a month on Vita.

Now only if Nintendo or Sony realize that they just have to embrace the smartphone market.

I wouldn't mind gaming in an xperia or something.

I hate smartphones for this lol.

I hope handheld gaming can still remain as its own market moving forward. Smartphones with their MB sized games can't compare to a dedicated handheld with buttons, GB+ sized games.
