This generation is over for Nintendo, it's far from over for Microsoft and Sony. The PS4 will outsell the 3ds+WiiU combined easily... Bit of a silly statement. I'm pretty sure Nintendo's next handheld will sell less than the 3ds as I think the decline in the dedicated handheld market is a very real thing, NX will outperform the WiiU though. |
My statement wasn't made to see who could outsell whoever. It was made to cement the fact that Nintendo still has a place in the market. 73 Million units of hardware isn't anything to sneeze at and gives no reason to exit an entire market. Especially if you're still profitable. That's all that really matters.And I think my statement is the truth rather than silly. it can be prooven as of now. I know PS and Vita will eventaully do better than 73 Million but you can't say my statement is silly 
Besides PS4 will be 4 years old in November. It has sold 41 million. With the best situation, it'll do another 41 million by 2021. 8 years on the market. Which isn't bad, it's better than Wii U or 3DS or Xb will ever hope for but it's no different from the PS3 compared to 8 years on the market.
Anyway, to take attention away from PS and XB on a Ninendo thread so I don't get banned, 
Anyway, I don't think Nintendo will have another handheld as we see it. the DS line is getting played out and Nintendo said NX is something new. So I wouldn't downplay NX just yet. I simply don't think NX will be hardware as we know it. It won't be 4DS or Wii U 2. So who knows how it would sell. We're talking numbers as of now.
