3DS will top out at 90 million lifetime, and that is being fairly generous. Not saying 90 million is bad, but nowhere near DS-level sales. It's selling at a clip of 8-9 million per year, so I'm not seeing the same explosive growth curve the DS had with Nintendogs/ Brain Age/ the very first NSMB, etc.

Again, 90 million is very, very successful. It means the system has reached a base beyond just the hardcore franchise fans.  Iwata himself has said that fans of certain franchises are buying franchise sequels for 3DS who have been out of the handheld market for a decade or more.  But, once again, it's not going to appeal to complete non-gamers who wanted to play Sudoku, Brain Age, or Nintendogs. Those fans can get free casual experiences on their giant-screened HD smartphones.


Exactly :), the 3DS will be REALLY succesful, just not DS levels succesful. I think it will perform better than this guy , but probably worst than this guy .

 

I will be happy, and we will get a lot of support from the big guys :D! (probably the underwhelming performance of the Vita will aid the 3DS tremendously.
