The 3DS sold 15 millions units during its first 9 months (end of february to end of december) It sold 17 millions during its first year. And we're talking about a system that ended up not meeting Nintendo's expectations in the last years. So I don't see how the Switch who is undertracking the 3DS, can replace it alone. Nintendo never said it will, it always was an idea that fans got. |
We are tracking sales in this thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=228581&page=1#
3DS seems to have sold 14M in its first year. Switch is tracking ahead by around 2M, and that's without having its price cut in about a third to sustain respectable sales. Even with the pricecut, 3DS barely keeps up with Switch's performance. Switch is probably making a lot more profit than 3DS did.
