If the 3DS is ever going to break 20 million in a year, it pretty much has to be this year, because after that the Pokemon/MH4 cards are basically played and they've pretty much thrown every type of Mario game at the platform they can. It's amazing the DS was crushing 30 mill/year like it was no problem.


Super SMash on a handheld will be huge!


I dunno, I think the home console version will be the one that most people who can only buy one version will get.

It'll do well, but I don't think it's selling a ton of systems late in the lifecycle either because if you're a Nintendo fan, you should already have a 3DS by then.

It's got MH4, Pokemon, Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing (NA/EU), and Zelda this fiscal year. If they can't top 20 million this year, it's never happening. It's now or never. Internally too I think the bulk of Nintendo's dev resources will shift from here on out to Wii U development, as 3DS has really monopolized a lot of their devs teams for the last few years.
