| Solid-Stark said: Sure it's still alive, but there won't be room for dedicated handhelds in the near future. (Perhaps next gen) 3DS is set to sell less than DS (Half?) and the Vita is set to sell considerably a lot less than the PSP (Sony's last handheld console). Smartphone and Tablet App games and gaming will take over. |
I'm willing to bet it would be half or more, not less than half. Let's approximate DS sales to be around 150 million. 75m is half of that. The 3DS hasn't been out for two full years yet, and it's already approaching 25m sold (a third of 75m). Not EVEN two years, and its strongest year most likely hasn't been seen yet with Pokemon, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, and some other popular Nintendo IP's to come. I believe the 3DS would have at least 5-6 years before it stops selling. Monster Hunter 4 and Dragon Quest 7 will definitely push sales of the 3DS in Japan (and if localized, in the west as well). I would bet you that the 3DS will sell more than half of the DS.
