Well, this isn't the best year for the 3DS, but the system isn't dead. The thing with the 3DS schedule this year is that it doesn't have as many heavy hitters as 2013 or 2014. 2016 will be a better year with Fire Emblem IF and western release of Youkai Watch (and hopefully something for the N3DS) will improve its sales. After that, the NX will get most of Nintendo's attention.
