It's currently at around 43M units sold and it's on track to sell 7.5m-8m units this year which would put it at around 50M units and we know how quickly Nintendo handhelds decline in terms of sales once they announce the successor which you can definetly expect them to do in 2015. So where are they going to get these other 10million units sales? If it sells 8m units this year, then you can definetly expect it to sell no more then 5m units in 2015 and then it's going to crash and burn from there in terms of sales. EDIT: The only way that I can see them changing the sales trajectory for 3ds is with a superior redesign that could justify an upgrade for current owners and that could potentially reach to the consumers who weren't interested in the 3ds family. |
I completely disagree that they are definetly going to announce a successor in 2015, why would they? In their market they are #1 and it was not long ago they brought the current system into profitability, expect 3 more years out of the 3ds before you hear a whisper of a successor
