I think PS4 will sell more. 700k gap right now, more big games than 3DS and I imagine a bigger marketing push.

It is simple

I think the 3DS will be the best selling console this year

3DS is already catching up to the PS4 in yearly sales of 2014 and it has been topping the charts for weeks now with few exceptions

Smash Bros 3D and Pokemon OR/AS will make the 3DS sell like crazy this holiday, seriously people have been hyping Smash for literally years and Pokemon...

What main Pokemon game DIDNT sell?

EDIT: Also thanks to Nintentacle for pointing out that 3DS has an advantage with price and games already released

Technically, its a remaster/rerelease

Despite that, I'd place my bets on 3DS, holidays are better for handhelds, unless they fuck up black friday...

It would require some effort on Nintendo's part to actually market it...

Actually, its way to close to call, Id say 55% 3DS 45% PS4.

I am counting the remakes (firered, heartgold)

Again, I think PS4 will lead. It has many more games being released for it later this year. Most multi-plats will benefit PS4 a ton, Especially in Europe.

Plus, the marketing will be massive.

These kind of predictions need to be made at the start of the year, not more than half way through it..
