At this rate, the 3DS is at it's peak and sales will only go up for the next 2-3 years.

I predict that the 3DS will eventually beat the original DS in terms of popularity and sales.


3DS will do GBA numbers not DS.. Heck 3DS is still struggling in the West. I'd say 100m is still not in the bag yet.

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.

I don't thin PH will make it...

Love that game though...

And when you consider that the most recent statement from regarding software sales had OoT3D way under what vgchartz has, it's beyond safe to say it will never reach five million...



Have a nice day...

I'll bet that at the very least one 3DS game makes 20m, I hesitate to say more because 20m is a really high number and 2 would be as high as I'm willing to go for betting.  Though I do not think it's impossible for the 3DS to do 4 or more, I think it's unlikely.

Depends on how heavily Nintendo bundles some games.

I wouldn't say bundling is the main factor for 20m sales.

I would. Bundling played a big factor in a couple of the Wiis 20m+ games.
