Nintendo - 3DS hits 50M! - View Post

So this little guy just reached this milestone today here on VGChartz, quite a feat 3DS, big kudos, you deserve it.

I remember the 3DS was slow in the beggining, a friend of mine just didn't knew what to do to sell the 3DS from his store, but after some time people decided tko give it a chance and it became a huge success as it 's now.

Now let's hope for the 60M to come soon!

with new 3ds/new 3ds xl, i can't imagine it'll take the whole of 2015 for it to do 60m. we still have a few more days in 2014 to account for, anyway.

i think if a successor launches (as i expect it will) in mid- to late 2017, the system will have no problem reaching gba/psp ltd figures (especially since, like the ds, it will probably remain on the market for another year, year and a half as a budget option).

2015: ~11m [new 3ds bump]

2016: ~9m

2017: ~7m [successor launches spring or holiday '17]

2018 and beyond: 3-5m
