| Mummelmann said: Uhm, forgive me if this may seem a tad in poor taste, but didn't the Wii do something similar? People were going on and on about how "Oh, so you're saying that the sales will suddenly stop?! Lol, that's ridiculous!", when what a lot of people actually thought was that it would have a very steep decline after an early sales peak and historic rise, this gross polarization gets you nowhere (the same crowd laughed at the notion of a DS successor as early as it came, yet some of us believed it not only possible, but likely). The 3DS won't divebomb, not exactly, much like the Wii, but could well be headed for a similar decline. Its more or less directly in the path of the "new world" in gaming (i.e; tablets and smartphones). I have said this many times in the past 2-3 years and I will repeat once more; dedicated handheld devices are going away for good. |
The reason why the Wii dive bombed was because Nintendo stopped supporting it. The moved onto 3DS and Wii U support.
