| b00moscone said: I see, it does indeed stack up well! While I don't expect it to keep up with these consoles, I do expect it to certainly keep up throughout the year. Also another thing to note is that if this estimate is accurate, then Nintendo definitely did not lie about ramping up production, making the "Nintendo limits stock!!!" thing more redundant then it was before |
I don't see why it can't keep up with them.
I have been saying this for a while and sme may think I am crazy; but the NS will eventually cannibalize the sales of the 3DS. So that means it would sell at least as good as a mobile nintendo console. So there isn't a reason why it doesn't sell 60-80M by the time its all said and done and most likely more.
The thing is that the only thing the 3DS has going for it right now is price, but there is absolutely no reason why both consoles should co-exist... its just redundant on nintendos part.Once the NS hits $200, thats the end for the 3DS, and soon we will start seeing a lot of games that would have typically beeen on the 3DS end up being on the NS.
Who in their right mind will buy a dedicated handheld when you can buy a handheld/home console hybrid that can give you a gaming experinece 10 times better than the 3DS with significantly more functionality. I am sure nintendo knows this too, even believe its part of their master plan but obviously they wouldn't come out and say that now as long as the 3DS keeps selling well. But when the NS price startts going down, it will just be a natural switch.
I can say this much... this holiday and those to follw the NS is gonna be the new hot item for soccer moms buying a "babysitter" for their kids. It will keep their kids busy at home, and it will allow them take it along in the car. Just wait till you start seeing official protective drop proof cases from nintendo.
My biggest shock is why this all isn't obvious to everyone.
