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.


Why do you talk about NX, the NX wont be releasing anytime soon 

I don't think Nintendo is going to keep the 3DS beyond 2018.  the 3DS and N3DS will coexist with the next Nintendo handheld only a year or two, specially if the next handheld (or fusion) is backwards compatible with 3DS. I said the NX because I think that concept will be the fusion idea.

Also, Nintendo could keep the system alive in the west for a couple of years simply by convincing japanese developers to localise their games. They could have a monster lineup with all of those unreleased japanese games: Dragon Quest VII and VIII, every Youkai Watch, FF explorers, Tales of the World Reve Unitia, Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode...



You know it deserves the GOTY.
