Well game wise they've pretty much exhausted all their IP on the 3DS, not sure what they could release now that would boost sales in that sense. Metroid is the only main Nintendo IP not really accounted for on the 3DS and that's always been a franchise more on the niche side. 


Hyrule Warriors: All-Stars, Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer should each sell pretty well but from a system selling perspective none will probably do a whole lot considering they are all spinoffs of games that have already released on 3DS.

Perhaps a new IP with a huge marketing push like Splatoon could help move systems, perhaps Yokai Watch will be as huge in the west as it is in Japan (I doubt it), maybe an official price cut in late summer/early fall? 2DS-$99.99, New 3DS XL'$149.99.

Who knows, maybe sales are better than we think, after all that number we currently have is the minimum it can be for May.


If they cut the New 3DS price that probably means they miss their profit projections for the fiscal year. 

So that's unlikely to happen. 

I think 3DS is just done in the US, that's really all it boils down to. People who thought because Nintendo slapped "New" onto the New 3DS (rather than calling it 3DSi) would somehow mean that the 3DS could go on for 2 more years were being laughably naive.
