Do you think it is a good idea for Nintendo to put out a new 3DS so soon?

For Japanese Reference...

2011: 4.31mil

2012: 5.50mil

2013: 5.10mil

2014: 1.25mil (estimate of around 2.5mil) but now it can be 3.0mil+

2015: 3.0mil???

3DS might not decline in 2015 which i would of guess did 1.5mil-2mil that year if N3DS wasnt coming out.

we'll have to agree to disagree. it did 5.10 mil last year and you think it doing a bit above 3mil is good? no thats bad, quite bad it is a massive drop and it would be the worst year for 3ds period, thats especially bad WITH newer HW. and 2015 wont do much better? Just because it might not do as bad without N3ds doesnt mean it still wont be bad. For it to be anywhere near good. I say it needs 4mil at least that would put it close to launch numbers. Having the 3ds peak in the 2nd year is not good no matter how one wants to spin it

Your definitely not looking at the whole picture, have you seen japanese sales? 3mil is great sales for a year go chek out how every other HH/Console did and you'll see :)

Your only looking at it from 3DS amazing years, those years are very very good. There's a difference. I bet Vita wished it had a 3mil year, i bet WiiU wished it had a 3mil year, no matter how anyody spins it 3mil is great for japan.

im comparing 3ds sales...to 3ds sales. that kind of drop is not great its irrelevant what the others are doing. and its even worse when you consider how early it peaked. 

edit: if we are talking about big picture why are we talking JUST Japan. IMHO it seems a little odd that they are going so hard in a region where they are already doing decent to good. We havent even discussed the rest of the world where i imagine the impact would be even more neglible and that is where 3ds actually needs to do better.
