I can't put a year on it but I think it will be at the same time the Vita makes it's glorious comeback, overtaking the video game market and going down in history as the most successful handheld ever created.

2014 is about the worse prediction possible. You might as well state this holiday season. Are you Pachter's son by chance?

2017, if ever.

Please dont do a thread like this again. Its embarassing.

it's funny how high expectations for sold consoles are nowadays, only cause the last gen was so beastly.... i would be happy for nintendo if they can get 40-50 million units sold, would be for sure a profit for them.

the problem with Mario Bros. U is, it doesn't look different (it actually does a bit but not for the avarge person) and it doesn't show nothing for what the system was meant. Big games like the next 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and of course Zelda are system sellers, cause they often look totally different or atleast play different.

Well the cheapest price so far is £143.88/$219.17 (Without tax). So it could go under $200 within a year, but $99? Not until the Wii and DS have been discontinued. So between then and when the net console is out.

And where did you find this deal, by chance?

OK i calculated it slightly wrong. Basic price £179.99 thats with 20% income tax, so £150 without and convert it to dollars is $228.48.

From Shopto. £179.86 for the basic model.

Yeah I've seen that ShopTo deal, mighty fine if you ask me, and certainly one people should consider if they were looking into the system!

But yeah, easy enough to make mistakes with VAT, Tax etc.
