Everyone? Less than 70% according to the poll.

No telling how many voted later when it was bumped in 2014.

But from people that actually made posts I counted the first 17 that gave an opinion, only 2 of those 17 supported the OP.

I honestly can't see 3DS selling much more than 70 million, so I'd say by the end of the holidays this year, easily.

Isn't it already the top selling? Even if you count portable, 3DS isn't current gen.

How isn't it current gen? The 7th gen Nintendo handheld was the DS, the 8th gen is the 3DS.

Curious question.

So far PS4 is selling gangbusters and shrinking the gap between 3DS really fast.

But Nintendo won't give up easily. They now announced a new model and a respectable lineup for the rest of the year. With holidays coming, it is obvious that we will see many incredible deals for its handheld, wich is already reaching a comfortable price zone for late adopters and families that want gifts for their young relatives.

What are your predictions for the time that will take for the PS4 finally reach the top spot of the 8 gen console sales?

It already is, is there any other console at 60M this gen?

Counting handhelds, I guess:

Jan 1, 2018: PS4>3DS

Jan 1, 2019: PS4>3DS+WiiU

Jan 1, 202x: PS4>3DS+WiiU+Xbone



End of the fiscal year.

I had to go give that thread the bump it deserved now because I never saw it back then.

OT

I think it could possible get it by the end of this year no later than March 2018 unless the 3DS sales all of a sudden take off.

The point was he was probably right, and everyone back then calling him out where wrong.

But yeah it was a bold prediction.

Yeah, but few were calling out for making such high lifetime predictions way to early. My comments were about the numbers, not the prediction itself.

1) lots of people in the thread, replied he was makeing a arse of himself.

2) People are doing the same now for switch. Alot are convinced the Switch after a few months, will have lifetime sales of 80-100m.

 

Personally I think the Switch is bound to do 60m+, even though its probably to early to tell.

Back then people thought the Wii U would do 30-50m.

Wii U had a pretty good start of its gen too, makeing predictions this early into the gen, leaves alot to just guess work.

Sigh

Again. People were calling out him for its PS4 outselling 3DS+WiiU prediction, not the cold numbers he gave. Hence people estimating 50 M and 100 M for Wii U and 3DS respectively. In any moment you see someone pointing his 100 M prediction for PS4 as nonsensical for being way to early to tell.

Right now with Switch, people are mocking and doubting the+80M  numbers that some users are using for its LT sales predictions.

If there's someone making a prediction like: "Switch will outsell PS4+X1" then it could be a comparable situation with his thread.

I guess it's pretty clear now what I am trying to say.

If anyone want's some good old reading material that's related to this thread.

 BOLD PREDICTION: The PS4 will outsell the 3DS+Wii U

I was smart enough to vote yes in that poll. Of course, I did just do it 30 seconds ago.



- "If you have the heart of a true winner, you can always get more pissed off than some other asshole."

Later this year.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
