Not a chance it does ds numbers. No handheld ever will again.
I think it's easy to forget that the D's launched in 2004. A good 3 years before the iPhone launched spearheading the smartphone market. And as such a good 6 years before the smartphone market took hold.
The simple truth is that today it makes more sense buying a $50 tablet or if you are feeling generous a $90 tablet for your child than buying them a handheld console. That's the simple reality we live in today.
As long as the smartphone/tablet market exists, the dedicated handheld gaming console cannot reach it's peaks of old.
What the NS has going for it though is that it's a hybrid. Individually it won't sell as well as a PS4 or a 3DS, but as a hybrid it could push around 60-70M units by the time it's all said and done to what at the time would be around 100-110M.
At some point the NS would cost as little as $199 or even $149.... But at that point the PS4 could cost as little as $149/$120. |
No console will ever again.
Is anyone really expecting DS numbers?

It's a Nintendo console we are about here.
People tend to get carried away.
