The problem of the 3DS is the same as the Wii U, except it's not coming from the same reasons.

The 3DS has a very rude and ever growing and evolving smartphone game market to compete against.

But don't worry they are in the same bag of trouble as handheld: people are more and more interested in PC/Console games that mobile/handheld game because of the screen size, hardware and attraction limitation.

So the 3DS is the first handheld to have lost it appeals, sure, because it followed up on the DS which was a really bad idea, although the new 3D concept and very low priced made it a good sale for the first two years.

should take a look on the front page when regarding the system having lost it's appeal btw, the massive thing wrong with your argument is the same issue that people had for ages with Soccer moms buying a wii, sure it's sales which could be a Xbox or a ps3 but those people wouldn't have bought a console if not for the fact that a lot of people happen to have a smart phone it's just their phone, sure they might buy some extra upgrades for a simple tap on the screen, basic type game, but these are not people who have choosen this type of gaming over owning a 3DS. 

But yeah, sells 666k last week and people talking doom about it, amazing.


I wouldn't trust vgchartz 3ds numbers if I were you - they overtracked the 3ds yb 400,000 in November in the US.
