The market is changing, Nintendo is no longer competing against other handhelds, their primary competition is the smartphone/tablet market. Nintendo won't be able to maintain long handheld generations any longer, not when new generations of smartphones/tablets are released every year. The 3DS's graphics are already behind budget smartphones and tablets, you really think that anybody other than core Nintendo fans will continue to buy the 3DS for 3 more years? The primary force behind the DS's high sales, children, are already starting to ask for smartphones and tablets to play games on instead of a 3DS. Out of all the kids I know, only 2 have a 3DS, the rest all play games on budget smartphones and tablets. Most of Nintendo's sales now are from the Nintendo fans that have stuck with Nintendo over the years, and from the children of those Nintendo fans whose parents have shared with them a love for Nintendo, they're not winning many new gamers anymore. Nintendo is going to have to shorten the lifespans of their handhelds if they want to continue to compete. Nintendo will almost assuredly release the 3DS's successor (HDS, 4DS, Fusion DS, whatever you want to call it) within the next 2 years. |
ooooo h again!shikamaru 3ds losing olny from dslite...me when i m reffering to ds i mean the first handheld ...and when i m comparing 3ds with previous hanhelds i m doing like this ds to 3ds dslite to 3ds dsi to 3ds! why you quoting me for 3ds life span,i said end of 2014 or early 2015,possibly you mean nintendo have to release every year a true successor of new graphics screen size etc...?not a successor like ds to dslite to dsi?
