PS3 is 7 years old. 3DS is barely beating that every week. BARELY.

As smartphones and tablets continue to get more and more popular, you're going to see less of a need to own a 3DS or a Vita. It's already hard to justify a purchase. What 3DS needs is free to play games to complement the Pokemon and Mario games. Not saying Nintendo themselevs should release free games, but let others do it.

A console that has had 7 years to grow its library vs a handheld that has had 2 years.

I know you're trying to make the 3DS look bad, but you're achieving the opposite.

From 2005 to 2006 DS sales doubled from 10m per year to 20m.(The 3rd year it sold almost 30m)

From 2011 to 2012 3DS sales went from 13m per year to 14m per year.(Now in its 3rd year, sales are slowing down)

Keepi in mind that 3DS already received its huge price cut and the 3DS XL. I'm not trying to make 3DS look bad, I'm showing you the facts. The 3DS isn't selling liek hotcakes like the DS. The chances of the 3DS matching the 3rd year sales of the DS at 30m are 0%. I
