I didn't realise I was being pessimistic until I saw the other predictions....

I find it strange people saying Pokémon will push it over DS figures. Most of the people who'll buy Pokémon already have a 3DS....

Funny, a year later and you're being optimistic with that 77m figure!

Looking at the dates, it's before we saw a huge drop for 3DS (although the previous 2 Q's were down YOY) so not sure what came out late last year which made people think it would pick up slack?

Tbone predicted 20m for 2013 but it only shipped 13m, this year it'll be lucky to break 10m shipped (given it's down 2.4m already).

2011: 15m
2012: 14.8m
2013: 12.9m
2014: 10m
2015: 9m? Thanks to new 3DS in the west maybe?
2016: 6m
2017: 3m Nintendo launch new handheld
2018 and beyond: 2m

72m~

I don't know shipment, but sales will be +10M by end of year.

Honesltly, my prediction in 2013 was 120,000,000 lt, i haven't expect this drop in 2014...



3DS at least holds the record for peaking during launch year! Not neccesserily an enviable record, but a record nonetheless.
