PS2 will remain the best selling console of all time by the end of this gen

Maybe. Nintendo cut GBA's life real short because of the PSP, and really hurt Sony's PSV with the hefty price drop on 3DS units. If Nintendo can eliminate Sony from the hand-held market (which might happen if Monster Hunter stays Nintendo, and Square Enix stops supporting Sony handhelds), then the 3DS successor will rake in A LOT of sales.

Precisely, thats what Ninty knows as well. Ninty probably knows the 3DS can't expand any further than the DS since it has it's sequels. Same with WiiU. Expand into red territory, while still catering to the blue ocean created last gen. That's Ninty's motto with 3DS and WiiU I think. Next gen we will see Ninty creating new brands to expand farther than what the DS and Wii carved out.

Well, lets see how well these systems do. ATM I have no plans to get a 3DS because I have too many DS games to beat, and the games I am interested in are fall 2013 titles (Fire Emblem and Bravery Default if it comes out in NA). I also have no plans to get a Wii U because I'm a relatively new Wii owner and have only beaten 2 of my 20 Wii games.

Nintendo seems to be doing a good job attracting 3rd party developers to make games for the Wii U, but I wish they made the Mass Effect Trilogy for Wii U. 3DS to me seems to be doing okay, but I don't think Nintendo will ever make a handheld with as strong of a software lineup as they did for GBA (at least not to me).
