Why is that irrational? It released in 2011 and sales peaked long ago. It is now falling. We're probably looking at less than 10m sold in 2014, which is a 30%+ drop in one year. In 2015 it should drop further to something like 6-7m and sales in 2016 will be very low and begging for a successor. Nintendo can't sustain their business on less than 5m handheld sales and less than 4m console sales per year. |
Why not? 2014 Sold is going to be around 7-8mil next year drop will be much smaller or maybe even better close to flat YoY. That leaves 2016/2017 as its final years (maybe like 4-5mil sold each) then a successor. Also its more about SW sales at this point for the 3ds. Nintendo can sustain their business with a 4-5mil sold year if SW are still great, no need to rush something^
