Forums - Nintendo - Prediction: 3DS to be the best selling console this year

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


There's a positive side to doing it now;  We have more data and less time, so the predictions are more mathematical and less abstract.

Youkai Watch 2 looks poised to do something ridiculous in Japan...
I would be surprised if the PS4 cleans up during the holidays, but the 3DS seems to be doing just fine...



Have a nice day...

Not even close.

3DS seems to be doing only 10 - 15k more than PS4 in Japan, whereas in Europe PS4 is likely miles ahead and in the US it's doubling it's monthly numbers in NPD.

Also, PS4 shipped 2.8m~ Jan - Mar. 3DS shipped 0.59m. Let that sink in.



 

3DS will be miles ahead of all other systems.

PS4, XBone and especially Wii U sales could be very similar. Destiny will probably have a similar "success" like Titanfall. Wii U has some big games and Nintendo systems always sell well on holidays. Xbone has more exclusives than PS4, could help it sales.



Yeah, this year 3DS will be again the best seller console.
By July, Augost, and first week of september will sell more of PS4, and when coming Destiny bundle PS4 will sell more but only from last week of september and october... when coming Pokémon R/S, 3DS will be best selling console easy for all Decemer.

In Europe 3DS is more of one month that sell more of PS4, LOL!

And in USA, on December 3DS will outsell PS4 like last year.



No way, this holiday season PS4 sales will explode. PS4 doesn't even need special games, Far Cry 4, Battelfield and Call of Duty will be enough. 3DS only outsold PS4 last year because Sony couldn't produce enough systems to meet demand.



no way.

iphone will be the best selling console

ehhh maybe. If they discontinue the original 3DS and make the 2DS $99, it could.



nice
