Really you think the 4DS comin on the end of 2015?????

Oh please, you is not seen NOTING in this E3, and for 3DS coming this year new Pokémon, Bravely Second, Moster Hunter 4G, Smash Bros, and much other games...

So, this prediction is impossible.

The new DS will coming minimum 2016, and for me in 2018.

On second thought, Holiday 2015 isn't that likely, but I think early-mid 2016 is a definite possibility at this point. The 3DS is already starting to lag behind even budget smartphones/tablets graphically, and I've noticed that more and more kids want a smartphone or tablet to game on nowadays than a handheld (kids were the main driving force behind the DS's astounding sales). The market is changing and it will likely force Nintendo to shorten their handheld lifecycles.

And I agree that the 3DS has an awesome slate of 2014 releases that will likely give it a decent boost this year. Still though, even with the boost from those releases, I can't see the 3DS selling more than about 7 million this year, unless Nintendo announes a price drop before the Holiday season. The 3DS has only sold 2.4m so far this year afterall.


Start 2016 maybe... but 7,000,000 of 3DS for this year is a bad prediction.

Have sold 2,500,000, and with new version, and Pokémon/Moster Hunter/Smash Bros, and with Black Friday/Chrismas minimu 10,000,000 this year... and i think 13,000,000.
