I still think the 3ds will outsell the DS in its lifetime. |
It won't
|
It's on track too, and this is without a pokemon game or a "3ds lite"
|
I dont see a huge jump in sales like DS got, i could easily see 3DS selling 15-20 million for the next few years and passing 100 million but it wont reach the 25-30 million DS was doing 2007-9. What do u think 3DS Lite will do that increases sales so much?
|
pokemon pearl and diamond had already come out, when pokemon x and y come out the 3ds sales will BOOM. Also, the next iteration will likely have a second circle pad, zl/zr buttons, and have a longer battery life. both of those combined could make the sales go beyoned the 30 million mark for 1-3 years.
|
30+ million is stretching it, 25m is possible for maybe 1-2 years. I just dont see a new redesign having the same impact as DS Lite or DSi. Not many games need a 2nd circle pad or 2nd row of shoulder buttons and Pokemon will be huge but i dont think that alone will cause sales to increase over 100% YOY.

Their was no reason to believe that the DS Lite would have caused the DS to explode either, but it did. And I say 30+ million because I believe that the psp stole some of the DS' sales, and with the vita selling so little, I wouldn't be surprised if the 3ds ends up selling more because of it. And pokemon is going to sell a lot of units this year, no doubt about it.

The original DS was one of the most ugly systems ever and the Lite looked 100 times better, plus it wasnt just the redesign that helped, but also games like Nintendogs, Brain Age and NSMB. nintendogs amd Brain Age croud is lost to smarthopes/tablets and NSMB was the 1st original 2D mario in 15 years, now its had 4 in 6 years and is no longer "new". U say PSP stole some of DS sales but smartphones and tablets are stealong even more of 3DS sales.
