What gets the competition? Assassins Creed III? I don't think it.

I doubt it will. I believe if stock is correctly allocated, WiiU will outsell 3DS one week this year.

as long as there are blue shells its impossible to stay ahead for too long

I doubt it. At very least, Halo 4 and CoD eleventy will raise the 360 above it for a couple of weeks. Especially since there are few major 3DS games on the horizon.

The 3DS, however, shot up exponentially with the release of these games.

Exponentially? You mean by 18%?

They will also have a Wii U and stronger ( saleswise) PS3 to deal with as well over the coming months. When does Halo come out?


First week of November, exactly one week before Call of Duty and, incidentally, Election Day.

The conspiracy theories around that timing are fun.

I think, overall, yes. This year the 3DS will be the leader. (Wii U could give it competition however...)



Conegamer on 06 September 2012

Overall, yes. But the WiiU at launch will beat it, but nothing else will.

Other than Paper Mario, the system doesnt have any killer app. Historicaly, Nintendo handheld always have alot of success during the holidays. So I don't see it being the best selling system in october and early/mid November, but during the big holiday sales boost maybe, but theyr is also the wii u and the kinect casual band wagon...

Oh alright, I was hoping for it to release closer to Pokemon black and white. But the 3DS will probably be back down by then . Although we do have Latest craze Skylanders coming out end of October and Paper Mario should be soon after that. People just need to get excited for the 3DS again. Hopefully Pokemon can do what Mario did not fully finish.

 

@Dengle

Yes :P


Based on the preorder data, I expect no great things from Pokemon.
