3DS in the first half of 2013: 2.64m

3DS in the first half of 2014: 1.40m

And some people still expect it to do over 100m...


Well what can you do. Kids are jumping ship en masse to tablets/phones. Most parents will give their older tablet to their kids when buying a newer model. 

Nintendo's thrown pretty much everything they possibly have at the 3DS ... 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Mario Kart 7, every Mario spin-off imaginable, Pokemon X/Y, Nintendogs, Animal Crossing, a new Zelda, etc. etc. 

Yeah the 3DS definitely has everything Nintendo can give it, but that doesn't help, if the market it self is just shrinking. The only thing that could bring the 3DS back on track to a 100m is a completely new IP that experiences the same kinda success that the original Pokemon games had.
