Some you have to wake up...you constanly making the same mistake ...ds sold 153,99 as a series so 3ds will be above 100,million as a series, not as one console ,3ds xl 2ds aren't successors...so 3ds is still one handheld...2004-2011 seven years of ds ,so 2011-2018 of 3ds will be above 100million ,could be at 130million!

I honestly don't see Nintendo keeping the 3DS as their main handheld until 2018, it's primary competition (smartphones/tablets) will be light years ahead graphically by that point. Nintendo will probably release a succesor to the 3DS by early 2016, sales of the 3DS will get a boost from a price drop for about a year after that, and then they'll drop off alot. 75 million lifetime tops. 

Just because the DS did exceptionally well does not mean that the 3DS will as well. The 3DS is already 20+ million units behind the DS within the same time period and the DS's lead continues to grow: http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251620/3ds-vs-dsvgchartz-gap-chartsapril-2014-update/



that's the mistake i aforesaid ...what do you   mean ?The 3DS is already 20+ million units behind the DS within the same time period and the DS's lead continues grows ?3ds third year aligns to ds lite...dont compare the whole series of hanheld with one! yes my dear nintendo will release 3dsi or 3dslite or something by 2015 no 2016 it too late according with nintendo s tradition!3ds has won dsi and ds but losing from dslite ...3ds will last 7 years ,rember  handhelds are series!
