How do you think the 3DS will perform saleswise?

[Zlejedi]

I'd say Nintendo is very smart in targeting their machines at core market.

When DS was realeased handhelds had absolutly no competition for portable gaming. Today there's three emerging competitors - smartphone's , tablets and ipods. So people will have much more options to get their casual 5 minute long game and 3ds/psp can't compete with prices on apple store or android market.

So going after people who want full normal game experience on the move is smart choice if we look at it from broder several years long perspective.
