You can already get a system that is able to play all 3DS games for $129...the price is not the problem with the 3DS, it's simply approaching a point where its market is saturated.

And regarding the bolded: Such as? And when would they announce those?

40% of the voters say the 3DS is going to beat the PS4...oh man.


The 2DS has been out 9 months, and has only sold 2 million, while the 3DS & 3DS XL has sold much more then that each, since October 12 2013. It's obvious that the 2DS & PS Vita both have a very niche market that just isn't going to sell either of them, that many units.

I forget if the 3DS XL or 3DS is the best selling Nintendo handheld, but I know the 2DS has been underperforming below everyone's expectations.

I don't count the 2DS, because it applies to a very niche market, like the PS Vita before it.

Of the 6.96mil 3DS' systems shipped outside of Japan in the last fiscal year 2.2mil were 2DS' (which only released in October) that's over 30%, which is not a niche amount of sales.


I'm just saying that the 2DS is repeating the front loaded sales the PS Vita had. I've seen this kind of appreciation before. Plus I was talking about global 3DS family SKU with the 2DS hitting 2.2 million out of that entire total.

 Also, how is it that the 2DS can only do 2 million out of 7 million for non-Japanese SKUs, if the price tag of the 2DS is suppose to help 2DS SKUs?
