Try 75 million + 20 million = still alive.


Bro 75mil? Are you serious? Its already half of that with out its third holiday. 3DS is not selling less than 90mil lifetime


Yep half that on its third holliday.  So I think it will be dead by year 7 or 8.  We will see who is right but my prediction is far from crazy...


Wow your terrible at predicting then, its half before its third holiday. 36.9mil + 6-8mil(next 8 weeks)=  43mil-45mil.

 If the next 3 years alone sell a minimum of 10mil then it reaches  your prediction with ease.

3DS wont die just because yor biased to nintendo, nice try though.

It only needs 5.1mil more sales for YoY, its going to do that with ease in the last 8 weeks, but go ahead and make your own format, show me how you get 80mil. 

We'll have to wait for Nintendo numbers to confirm that. Btw:

yes it does, with VGChart estimates 3DS is spot on, unlike ps3 which is still overtracked by a little



Lol yes, 3DS+WiiU will easily beat PS4+Vita.

I think Wii U could do 60 million at best, but no less than 30 million. The thing is, I don't understand the reason Wii U isn''t selling. Free online, quality titles, actual innovation, backwards compatible, and nothing behind a paywall! Yes, there's not good third party support, but what happened to the +30 million people who bought MarioKart Wii, or +10 million people who bought SSBB/ SMG?


Those people are mostly casuals, now they find their time to play games with Mobiles and Tablets for gaming so no more Home Consoles for them but Portables will be be very attractive that's why 3DS sells like that. These days Home consoles needs horse power, some wow and more games coming every day to keep them attracted. However, Wii U fails in this and its just depending on its IP's to sell without 3rd party support and has less horse power in it. Even if it gests 3rd Party support and the games are not selling well, so Nintendo made their Consoles mostly for exclusives which is their fault.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

I think it would be better to just say Nintendo wins handhelds, while Sony wins home consoles. You're probably going to end up disappointed if you're going to add them like this, as PS4 + Vita is most likely going to outsell 3DS + Wii U. I see Wii U selling 25M-30M and 3DS selling 90M-95M. Vita will probably end up at 40M-45M and the PS4 115M-120M. So, Nintendo's 115M-125M to Sony's 155M-165M.

MS doesn't have a handheld to bolster its sales, so it wouldn't come out on top no matter what. But for the sake of predicting all the consoles, I think the One is going to end up at 60M-65M.



3ds 100mil
Ps4 100mil

Wiiu 40mil
Vita 40mil

Yeah im actually optimistic.
