It is selling less than GBA, but, GBA had a little lifetime. its sucessor was launched 3 or 4 years after it. But with the new patters of industry, where a console lasts for much more time(7, 8 or more years), i believe nintendo will not launch its sucessor so soon. Maybe they will wait wii U complete its lifetime cicle to launch an hybrid console. |
I think you may be right. Also, they are merging handheld and home console engineers in the same building. The wii U itself could be the next handheld, since it is still possible to shrink the 40nm transistors and, in the end, may fit in the gamepad itself. In that case the 3DS would still be on the market for a long time (at least 4 years).
