The 3DS doesn't matter BECAUSE it's sales won't be astronomical.

Do you really expect one game to carry Nintendo? Fair enough; I can't seee how one game will make 1.1 billion dollars as currently the Wii U is being sold at a lost and sure as hell won't have recouped it's R&D costs. 

You still don't get my point.  YOu originally said the 3DS didn't count and now you are saying why it won't.  My original statement was that they are both a part of nintendo and since then you have acknowledged that it is all I was saying.  Read my previous posts.  I don't have a prediction at this time, but I do predict pokemon to be in the top 3 games on a single platform this year and I do predict the 3DS to be the number one selling console this year by a wide margin.

As for the WiiU I have no prediction as of this moment.


Lol er dude, ever done a basic science report before? Statement followed by reasoning is hardly something to criticise........Pokemon may sell well. The 3DS may be the best selling handheld this year but ultimately will those two things generate the revenue required? I don't believe they will, and being the best selling "console" (its a handheld, not a static console, ergo bit of a arbitrary comparison) when the others are at the end of their run is hardly anything to be declared as a success, or a successful revenue stream.

As I said, the Wii U currently has R&D costs to recooperate, and is being sold at a lost. Ironically the low sales may help negate the latter part, but low sales will not help with the former.
