Will the 3DS sell 300 million+ ?

Can't believe how much some of you wish it would fail, :P. Under DS, really? Save for the inexistent threat that is the iOS device family, nothing indicates that it'll do less than DS.

This is like DS, except with awesome features, third party support and the world's largest userbase on its back. And competition (not iOS, NGP) that isn't nearly as strong as before.

...300m is a really funny joke, though. More like 200-225m.

Sit down, kid, and let me tell you a story.

*Ahem*

A company, confident after breaking numerous records, and creating the best-selling video game system of all time, announces a new gaming device. Hardcore gamers left and right begin proclaiming it to be a raging success, that will utterly destroy it's competition.

And why not? It's just like it's massively successful predecessor, after all. It has third-party support, and the world's largest user-base on it's back. It also has awesome features, that nobody else in the market has. What could go wrong?

Nintendo and the 3DS? No. I'm talking about Sony and the Playstation 3.

(Semi-stolen from Metallicube's sig.)

Is it priced at $599? Is it lacking software that's enough to take over the world (Nintendogs, MK3DS 2D Mario coming eventually)?

Bad analogy, :P. Those were the things that destroyed the PS3 and, fortunately, 3DS, doesn't seem to have the same disease.
