After an average start earlier this year, the 3DS is finally picking up.

His price drop has done well and finally the price is not an obstacle anymore. The games are finally coming.

Before the end of this year, massive hits like Mario 3DS and Mario Kart will be available. These games have the potential to sell 10 millions, and even more for Mario Kart. Monster Hunter 3 remake will also be released in Japan.

The year after, Animal Crossing (10+ millions seller on DS), Tomodachi (huge hit in Japan) and Kid Icarus will be released by Nintendo. Monster Hunter 4 has been announced as well. Other games will be launched next year, MGS3, Resident Evil revelations, Luigi Mansion 2 , Paper Mario, Mario tennis, Fire emblem.

When the Vita will be released worlwide, the gap will likely be over 10 millions. And the Vita will be more expensive and will have less system sellers than the 3DS who is ready to start really.

So do you think that Sony has a chance to weather the upcoming 3DS storm and to make it competitive?

I cannot speak for the rest of the world, but in the US IF and only IF the VITA gets a proper COD game with a solid online multiplayer (if 3G can pull it off), then that gap will close really fast. We sadly see that COD doesn't seem to be slowing down. Imagine how many children will love to have COD with them at all times while in their mommy and daddy's car? Online multiplayer on the go is a very attractive feature that people here will eat up regardless of age.
