First, we must correct something:
- The article says that 3DS sold 5 million.... and that´s painfully wrong. 3DS has sold 18.440.000 so far, for 16 months on the market.
- Between 2004-2006 the original Ds (including all versions) sold 35.6 million units, but in a period that amounts 25 months.
That said, it´s hard to imagine the 3DS matching the original DS numbers, even considering that it won´t have two Holidays seasons until it reaches 25 months on the market. It probably won´t match, in the end of its run, the same sales of the Ds series. But it doesn´t need to sell 150 million to be sucessfull. If it sells more or less what Wii sold (around 95-100 million) at the end of its run it will be ok. The future lineup of games seems really good and will for sure bring new costumers.
