Come mid 2017 ...

The 3DS is practically dead in the water for next year which will prohibit the platform from going well above 50 million units and the jury is still out on whether we count in the N3DS too ...

With the new version? Nope... Probabily that next year 3DS will sell more than this year.

But next year PS4 will sell some like 20 million, so, isn't much matter.

Soon.

Right, PS4 will sell 30 million units more by the end of the year...

That chance of that happening is bigger than ''never''

No it really isn't.  We know what's coming out for the PS4. There is no reason for such a tremendous increase in demand.  It would basically have to outsell the Wii in its best year in the span of 2 months. We can be about 99% positive that Sony cannot produce 30 million units, ship them to stores, and get them into customer's hands within about 2 months.  It's basically impossible.

As for the PS4 never catching up, that's possible.  With price cuts and a new model, 3DS sales could go up, and it could have a pretty good tail life.  New software could always aid it, Amiibo can be big, it could interact with the QOL platform in a novel way, etc.  PS3 and 360 had really strong 5th, 6th, and even 7th years, so it's possible for that to happen to the 3DS and it could get pretty nice sales.

It's not likely that the 3DS will stay ahead of the PS4 for it's lifetime, but it's FAR more possible than the PS4 outselling the 3DS in any timeframe that can reasonably considered "soon" and infinitely more possible than the PS4 outselling the 3DS by the end of the year.

I love how people let their assumptions get the best of them. I never said it would happen this year, now did i? It's funny people find "Soon'' more weird than "Never"

We all know when is "never", but only you knew when is "soon". They came too assumptions too quickly.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

N3ds=3ds family, so its not going to be dead next year

I strongly believe never.........because you know...it will be around 80-90m and that would be hard to reach even for the PS4.

PS3 reached 80m and it sold less than PS4 has already after it's SECOND holiday season.  That means even if PS4 had NO sales during the most popular time of the year it would STILL be ahead of the PS3's trend.  How is it going to be hard for PS4 to reach 80m?

It's because soon is such a vague answer, you're assuming that we all know what you mean by "soon"...

Omg, you think this is a new generation? You cant be serious bro, its part of the 3ds family, there is nothing else to prove. Only reason why i hear this excuse is because imo people dont want to see sales combine :-/
