What Does This Mean with the "New 3DS/XL" in Terms of Lifetime Sales? Can It Potentially Increase 3DS Life for a Couple More Years?

New 3DS/XL comes out in 2015 (just japan in 2014) and yu think a successor is coming right after it? I doubt a successor to 3ds comes out in 2016.

Also looking at the New 3DS, notice it has the same button layout as the wiiu now? Yeap, New WiiU coming and this will be a prototype to the next gen HW

The DSi came out 2 years before the 3DS. If the 3DS successor came out holiday 2016, that would be two years one the New 3DS on the market. No way they're keeping the 3DS out longer than that. I'd say sooner. Like summer 2016.
