Quite depressing really, will mean every platform on the market will end down YoY including one only in its 3rd year, and to make matters worse its a Nintendo handheld which have all been massive success stories so far.

3DS is in its second year. Year 1 was 2011-2012, year 2 2012-2013.


My bad, got confued with the release dates.

This kinda makes it even worse now imo. So there's a decent chance the whole of 2012 isn't going to match up to the 10/11 months of 2011.


Don´t worry man, it will surprass last year´s  numbers. Not by much, but it will

Might not make it but all good. 3DS just needs Animal Crossing world wide. AC is a better console seller than anything the competition has to offer.

100% Agree, Also IMO if AC and luigi mansion released worldwide end Nov then 3DS hardware would of at least push 3mil at least. These games are great for casuals and anyone that love the franchise!

Nope. I don't think so.
Vita is really cutting into 3DS sales this holiday as is mobile gaming.

Not sure if serious...

VGking tends to be wrong so now i'm sure 3DS will make it, he has a pachter efect :)

+500 for the Pacther efect thing

I thought we were banning Pachter on this site?

yes pachter is currently banned, but aparently we have a substitute.... lol

What? Mind explaining?

Vita wasn't available last year. Those 3.7m Vita's are sales stolen from the 3DS. 

Despite what people may think, 3DS and Vita are directly competing with each other.

This is true to a point. I say 2mil Vita's took away from the 3DS sales, just like the ds and psp are eating up sales also.
Lets face it i say around 1.7mil of the buyers are Sony Only Fans thats why. No matter what they'll never buy Nintendo. Same said Visa-Versa for Nintendo Only Fans!



I think it will just make it. Probably will make it by 50-100k imo.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

900k this week. Yeah, it's going to make it. :)

Now that the 3DS is almost certainly going to make it, this thread will die.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

So all it needs to do is sell 1.2 million right? Next week it should do a million and after that... boom! No contest really. I wonder how much its going to outsell last year though? Should we make a prediction about that now?
