That's true. The main secret sauce of 3DS (the 3D) was a liability. While the platform already turned around in late 2011 with a price cut and 3D Mario and Mario Kart, Pokemon cemented 3DS as very profitable. I have to imagine Pokemon games moved over 25 million units of 3DS hardware.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)
PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 40 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
