Given that N3DS is launching next year, I'd say late 2017/ early 2018.

Why do you assume that will give the boost needed? It won't. 3DS is well past its peak years and is only going to further decline.

3DS successor will launch early 16 - late 16.

If they leave it till 2017 ... their handheld part of the business will look incredibly week.

3DS will be lucky to pass 6m in 2016, given it's barely gonna do 10m this year.

I dont think anybody is saying otherwise (n3ds giving a boost) and we know its past its peak already^

Depending on how much it does this year and the line up for next year+Launch in the West, 2015 can match or maybe possibly be slightly up.

If N3DS can keep the 3DS afloat, i do not see why the new HH has to come out soon. That said, 2016 is the earliest. But i think 2017 is a possibility.

Nah, no way is the general consumer going to care if it even becomes common knowledge.

Doesn't seem to be doing great for Japan and they're the most receptive to this sort of thing.


In all do respect, 3DS was heavily down this entire year from End of Jan-mid Oct. N3DS is selling about on par with 2013 3rd quarter which had Brand New MH+Pokemon with Remakes/Upgrades. 

Now N3DS isnt exploding with huge results, but its still doing extremely well looking back at any week this year. There's also the fact that YW2.5 releases next week and there is yet to be anything worth owning a n3ds for. (for the time being).

3DS was going to sell about 1.9mil-2.1mil if N3DS didn't release. With N3DS it'll hit close to 3mil, maybe alot more. (its at 2.48mil now)

 

Edit: It'll do over 3mil, it needs to avg just 126k a week for this month
