How so? what is a good future? I dont think declining sales could be considered good. Unless you dont think they will decline and i am curious to know why. Sony is 99% NOT going ot make another HH so that right there is a decline.

People really need to stop using DS/PSP generation as a standard to base things on. Here are the sales for each of Nintendo's handhelds

Game & Watch-43 million

Gameboy (89-96)-54 million

Gameboy (97-03)-64 million

Gameboy Advance-81 million

Nintendo DS-154 million

Nintendo 3DS-51 million (rising)

People seem to forget that Gameboy was a 2 generation handheld so it's 118 million sales don't explain the full story. When stacked up against each individual generation, 3DS sales don't look too bad, it's actually on track to sell just as well as Gameboy did during the huge Pokemon phenomenon.

im basing it on the PRIOR generation which generation should i base it on? OK whats your point? its a decline even if we go back another generation and compare it to GBA its still a decline and GBA was only on the market for 3.5 years so that doesnt paint 3ds in a better light, its actually makes it look worse. 

So again i will ask what will Nintendo do to stop the decline, casue best case scenario it becomes stagnant. Now tell me how that is a "good future"
