In every NX discussion I've read, there is a common debate: people arguing which system of theirs they need to replace first. The 3DS is reaching 5 years old, and it seems that Nintendo's output for the system is slowing down quicker than the WiiU's. But even now the 3DS sales are still healthier than WiiU's in both hardware and software (this year the 3DS sold around 7m units, while the WiiU sold around 3m). However, with the NX project closing in, it's very possible that Nintendo will replace both, if the NX is a fusion system.
Which system do you think will be replaced first? The 3DS or the WiiU? Or will they be replaced at the same time by the Fusion system?
Also, if you want to make predictions about which system will be replaced first or last, feel free to make them here.
3DS Pros to replaced last /WiiU cons to replaced first.
-The 3DS keeps selling better than the WiiU. Both hardware and software.
-The 3DS is still getting more 3rd party support than the U (not counting indies, they are coming to both devices).
-Nintendo might not want to ruin their biggest money font without any failsafe plan.
-Nintendo needs to recover the lost ground on the home console market as soon as possible by releasing a new HC devce.
3DS Cons to replaced first/WiiU pros to replaced last.
-The 3DS is dangerously underpowered, and it's missing a lot of 3rd parties because of that.
-The 3DS is an older system. The N3DS didn't help that much.
-The WiiU gets more 1st party support than the 3DS.
-Nintendo needs to preserve the handheld market's health by releasing a new HH device.
