Nem said: I still think everone is trying to kill off the 3DS and Wii U way too early. Think about the software development cycles. They cant just release one round of games before remakingall the tools all over again. I think both the 3DS and Wii U will see another round of first party software before exiting the stage. I guess it is possible that Nintendo development is now focused on the new portable to come out in a year or two, but i find it unlikely. What makes sense to me is that in 2015 and 2016 the new wave of software for current consoles will release and no new systems will release wich will maximise profits. Possibly production of current models will slow down for the release of a new system in late 2017 where the next wave of software will start beeing ready. |
GBA sold better and was killed off earlier.

GBA was launched later than it would normally have been due to complete lack of competition. It was replaced sooner than Nintendo otherwise would have done due to serious competition hitting.
