It depends on what Nintendo does. Pokemon and Monster Hunter are great franchises, but 2006 had the DS redesign. 3DS still has a weak battery, and I bet a lot of gamers (like me) are still holding out for a better system.

2013 3DS might not top the DS in 2006, but it should top 2007 numbers.

When Nintendo redesigns the 3DS in 2013 or 2014, that year will be one of 3DS's strongest, in all regions.


Well the thing about the redesign is that it's sort of backwards with 3DS.  Nintendo released a compact 3DS as the launch model, and then released an XL version a year and a half later.  With DS, they released a bulky launch model, then the compact model a year and a half later, then the XL model near the tail-end of the system's lifespan.

I'm not sure how likely an even smaller 3DS model is.  I remember Miyamoto saying last E3 that the base model of the 3DS is pretty much exactly what they wanted it to be, and they didn't think a smaller one was necessary.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
