Even if they stopped providing software for the 3DS right now...it would still sell over 50 million easily. Probably closer to 60 million. Assuming they have software for it for at least another year or two, 3DS should comfortably reach the 70+ million range, which I think is quite a success in this world of supposed "mobile domination" where "handhelds are dead." That being said, 50 million lifetime I think is still "decent"...but Nintendo would be disappointed and people would make a big deal about only reaching a 3rd of the DS's market share. But the DS was an anomaly, like Wii. 3DS is primed to reach about the same success as the GBA in sales, which shows that there is still room for dedicated handhelds in the market, provided the software is strong enough, as the 3DS' fabulous library has proven.
