What will be the big holiday title(s) for 3DS in the west?

1) I seriously doubt NX is a handheld as Nintendo has had a lot of success with the 3ds (and all its models) where as the Wii U drastically needs a replacement much sooner.

2) I also seriously doubt Nintendo would launch the New 3ds models to be around for just a year, with one game specifically designed for them. The New series was Nintendo's way of extending the life of the 3ds by allowing Nintendo to do Wii level remakes on that device (games that can be ported for cheap, in a quick fashion, and appeal to the masses).

A Nov/Dec 2016 for the next handheld would give New 3DS a little over 2 years in Japan and just under 2 years in the west, pretty much the same amount of time DSi was on the market before 3DS came out.

Except the DSI was simply a more convenient device, not one with more power that can literally play games from the previous generation (like the New 3ds can with Wii games, compared to the old 3ds which can only do enhanced N64 and barely Gamecube level games). The New 3ds isn't just a revision. It was made to play games the 3ds couldn't.
