It will but barely. The 3DS will get discontinued this year probably.

Lol^ You mean the DS will totally disappear from shelves?


Yes, along with the 3DS. It had it's peak year and it's down year on year. Vita will crush it this year.

No way.  Even if a new handheld comes out, which I doubt.   Is that what you are suggesting?

Good to know you take my posts seriously.

3DS had sold about 10.5 million by Black Friday last year. It would need to sell about 7.7 million to reach 50 million by Black Friday this year. And with games like Kirby Triple Deluxe, Smash Bros 3DS, and Yoshi's New Island already known to be coming and Nintendo always keeping most of their cards to their proverbial chest, I'd expect it to easily reach 50 million, probably by late September.

(note: my numbers above are using the week containing New Years as the first week of a year)

Undoubtedly. There seems to be a decent line up that'll certainly keep sales a float.

Yes

Last I checked the Vita had its peak year two years ago, so I can see no reason as to why it's going to "crush" the 3DS in 2014.
