The Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Paper Mario trifecta will probably ensure 3DS holds it's own against anything else in Q4 (NGP, iPhone 5, etc). There's also probably going to be major 3rd party stuff like MGS3D and Layton 5 around then. |
The first two Paper Marios never held up system sales. I mean, I love them, it's a great series, but it's appeal is to those who will be early 3DS adopters anyway.
Even if Nintendo plays it right, I think NGP will outsell 3DS in the first Christmas simply because 3DS will take time to build a mass audience like the DS did, while a great number of people who own a PSP or PS3 will jump on this right away. Of course 3DS will do better in the long run as long as it gets the DS 20m titles out.
