Outside of a comic book convention, I've still never seen a grown adult (or even an older teenager) with a Vita or 3DS out in public in the US/Canada. And just in the last month I've been to Seattle, Vancouver, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. 

Smartphones have totally killed that part of the market, Sony/Nintendo need to hope that kids still want handhelds enough, but even that market is under assault by cheap mini-tablets.

Ancedontally too, I had many friends in their 20s who got a PSP near launch when it was the "hot" new thing for 2005 and I knew of others who had a DS especially after the Brain Training craze hit.

But none of them have gone back to buy a Vita or 3DS.

In Japan handhelds reign supreme simply because they've effectively replaced home consoles.

I have never seen either, just once, a 3DS at Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro. A rich little kid inside a freaking Iatch, NO KIDDING, I was at the Marina with my ex-girlfriend and the little fucker was playing with the handheld inside the boat.
However, I am 30 years old, never been to a convention or bought a comic book in my life (except Scott Pilgrim), and I own a VITA, PSP and 3ds, wich I use for Ace Attorney games, go figure...

No more than 40 Million.

Has Pachter made a "prediction" yet? If so, tell me. I usually base my predictions off of how horrid his are.

He said "IT WILL FAIL PRETTY HARD". I assume this means less than 10 million.

Did he seriously say that? Sheesh... he might be right this time. Except with the "Pretty Hard" part. That might be an over-statement.

I think it can get to 20-30 million sales.
