taking into consideration that 3ds has a 3d mario, monster hunter, smash bros... all franchises ds didn't have, I'd say there is a chance. this year we already have pokemon and monster hunter for sure and possibly zelda too. who knows wich will come next year.


DS did have a 3D Mario, Super Mario 64 DS. But I agree, while its not a certainty, 3DS does have a chance of doing it.

are you serious? Why cant you accept something? No matter how many times you get proved wrong, you always got something to say back. Pokemon bw2 is successful, it will be the second highest third installment in pokemon. That means your decline excuse is thrown out the window since it went up instead down. I prove that you lied about MH4, then instead of admiting your wrong when i clearly given you FACTS (something you dont do) you say something stupid like "It wont hit 5million". No body say that, just stop with your lies and ridiculous comments. Pokemon BW2 is successful and MH4 will sell more than you expected.

I've yet to be proven wrong since those games aren't out yet so we don't have sales numbers. The only fact that we have is that all franchises are selling less on the 3DS than the DS except for FE:A.

Shin Megami Tensei IV sold more than Strange Journey. More than even its best selling SMT title.

Ignore the North America part.  It's wrong because the game isn't out yet.  However, look at Japan sales for Rune Factory 4.  It did WAY better.

Also, Ace Attorney 5 did better in its first week than the best selling Ace Attorney game for the DS (even though it's marginally better, it's still better).

Since I never really tracked DS sales, it's hard for me to dig them up, but these aren't the only examples.

Nah I don't think it'll make it. Even though I can see 3DS reaching GameBoy numbers, at least 100m anyway (I agree the west should pick up the pace a bit), I don't see as many franchises having the potential to sell over 5m copies.

I don't dare to predict which will, but I will say this; I think LoZ: ALBW has a good possibility, I see the style of the game having a 'NSMB' effect. LoZ: OoT3D isn't going to make it for sure, it's pace has stopped to a crawl and it'll be lucky to reach 4m now. Which is d*mn good for a 15 year old game anyway. I will also say that the DS has a slight chance of hitting 19 5m sellers; Phantom Hourglass only needs a couple k more...


To reach 100M, the 3DS needs to be selling at the current for the next 5 years.

thankfully there are things called "big releases" and "holiday seasons".

Acutally, you're wrong about that too.  


Alright, pray tell me which franchises prove me wrong then.

Well, due to the eShop, it may be a lot harder to have 18 games that sell over 5 million physically.

Yes, I am taking into consideration the "big releases" and "holiday seasons" of the past 2 years.

I already have.  I responded to you twice.

- That won't matter either way. People can wait, they always do. Unless it's more than 5/6 months seperate.

- Many people who have a 3DS also have a Wii U. However, I see what you are saying.

- Why?

By monster numbers do you mean 5 - 5.5 Million? If so, alright.


I acutally do think they will seperate them by 5 months. Seems like a smart buisiness decision.

Well, some people want to enjoy the different stages featured on the 3DS version. I will be buying the Wii U version only myself, but there are people who anticipate buying both. 

Yeah 5-5.5 million is my estimate. Maybe 6.

Neither Rune Factory nor SMT are Nintendo franchises. But you know you sort of proved my point with those Rune Factory sales, right? Also, is SMTIV the best selling SMT game?

You're an absolute idiot.  You did not say that, and narrowing it down to Nintendo franchises REALLY narrows it down to the point where your point is absolutely insignificant.  You should stop talking.
