The 3DS will open stronger, and will likely track ahead for at least the first year, maybe two. After that it will be all about factors we don't have any info on yet.

• how much competition will the 3DS get from its predicesor?
• what will Sony's response be?
• will Nintendo be able to come out with games that expand the market ?
• will there be multiple popular models?
• how long will the 3DS be on the market?
• when will the successor to the 3DS come out?

I agree with Mr. Smart Guy. This is getting more hype then the first DS, but a lot of factors will determine the sales after the first 2 years, all listed and price.
