This. and lol. I follow Zhuge and i believe he is one of my best friend on internet. (internet)
What i love from this guy is how he usually is interesting and objective with sales numbers, that's why is ridiculus when i read stuff like this. Let's be serius. 3DS death? What could be the definition of "death".
Cause if you like it or not, worldwide actually, 3DS is doing about the same as the Xbox one. Looking at that TERRIBLE May NPD, i would say 3DS is doing even way better recently. (not to mention the 3DS is a 6 years old system VS a 3 years old system)
Is XBO death then? According to Zhuge, nope, then why is 3DS death?
XBO is exatly THE SAME 3DS situation. XBO is doing better than the 360, humm so? What sold the 360 lifetime, something near 90 million? Well, XBO is gonna be lucky to sell half of that, JUST like 3DS was selling better than DS at first, and now will end with a >50% drop.
The only only difference here is that DS is DS... aka the bigger console ever with the PS2. 360 sold amazing, yes, too bad NOT THAT amazing, so a 50% drop from the 360 is WAY worse than a 50% drop for the DS.
Let's be serius pls, even PS3 sold just a bit more than half of PS2 lifetime sales, you seriusly call death and flop a console which will end with about 70 million LT or so? Lol we get it. Handhelds are not so much poupular like one time. JUST like home console aren't, and no, you can't not count the Wii in this comparation, you must count all consoles.
Zhuge predict a lifetime total of about 150 million between PS4, XBO, and Wii U (which seem even relasonable in my opinion), this is an abissal drop from the 270-280 million of PS3, 360, and Wii. And also looks like it won't only be Nintendo fault, cause even XBO will have a massive drop compared to the 360.
Really, the only console which will do better than the last generation is the PS4. So what should this mean? Nintendo will die, Microsoft will leave the console market and Sony remain the only one to make console.

Great minds think alike! ;) I also agree with Rol about zhuge... Rol had the guts to say what I didn't dare to say... :) Ryng <3
Zhuge is a very good amateur analyst , but that doesn't mean whatever he says is valid ...
People give him more weight to his words than he deserves! Which is dangerous if you think it! Espousing and reproducing even misguided standpoints by him, instead of recognizing the mistakes, charmed by the great and unique things ( sales, earning charts, market analysis e.t.c ) he does!
Now to the anal-yst ! ( Bryan cashman-consulgamer)
It's unfair to jump into conclusions by comparisons that contain market anomalies... That paradigm of ps3/ps2 must be pointed out to the anal-yst article which I attached!
For him playstation should be dead because ps3 sold 70m less than ps2... However look PS4!
This anal-yst ( bryan cashman-consul gamer) wants to prove that Nintendo is doomed by using ds and wii vs 3ds and wii u comparison and mobile vs handheld revenue, yeah 1b devices, first need product, since phones can save you in an emergency vs 3DS, an optional device for having fun, basically just Nintendo vs 100 companies... looooooool! Very objective anal-yst!
Yeah, don't wait for the successor of 3ds and see if it sells better! Preconceive failure! I wish they sell more, just to some people eat their words... Dogmatism and selective/monomer analysis just to make things look worse and incite negativity infuriates me!
