It shipped only 0.69m in the previous fiscal year, so the only logical conclusion is imminent discontinuation. Doesn't look like the 3DS can reach 76m, so it will stop close before it (75.77m LTD by March 31st). Along with 13.56m Wii U consoles, this results in a hardware tally of ~89.4m for the previous generation. Very weak generation, but that has been a foregone conclusion for a long time already. |
Very weak indeed, but only natural I suppose, considering that between them 3DS and Wii U are the two most poorly conceived Nintendo systems outside of the Virtual Boy. Thankfully, the Switch is a massive improvement, as will be reflected by it easily outselling the two combined.
Here's hoping they never again have to suffer through a generation like that one.
