Oh, you're serious


Only partially, but its more a grim outlook on console gaming than it is a positive outlook on the 3DS, then again the N3DS seems to have gotten a much more sizeable upgrade than I had imagined if the recent dumps are real, so it could well go on to do quite well for the system as far as a refresh goes before the 4DS.

"Never" is a safer bet than anything pre-2018 (late) barring some strange abnormality in sales.

Easy if and only if Nintendo. Launch a new handheld otherwise never, I think the new 3ds will add a lot of legs

My bet? 

End of 2017, starting 2018.


3Ds or new 3Ds which is a new handheld?  Are we pitting the PS4 against one device or two?

LOL... so its PS4 against entire family of devices... lol.  I can't.

Isn't the Wii U in the Wii family?  Are we invinting rules on the fly.  Because if so the Wii U will never be beaten.

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 :-/

You never think in terms of "generations", that never made much sense in consumer electronics. The fact is the N3DS is a new "iteration" of hardware and there's nothing you can do to change that. Lumping the two consistently different platforms together to boast the results is disingenuous at best. 

Your reasons for this being an excuse for people to not see the sales combined is half-baked since they have a valid point about exclusive software differentiating the the two platforms hence seperating them making sense ... 

psp go + psp added together gb + gbc added together vita + ps tv added together ds +dsi added together and finally like the 2DS 3DS+2DS+N3DS added together.

You can say exclusive all you want, it doesn't change the fact tbat the n3ds is a 3ds

How do you reconsile the fact that the Wii U plays Wii Games.  Regardless of what you say, there are game that will require a new peice of hardware to play.  Therefore it is a different device.  Thats like a parent getting Xenoblade for New 3Ds and expecting it to work for the 3Ds or  2Ds.  It doesn't matter how many 3dses you have... if you don't get the new hardware you are SOL.  They are grouped together because its much easier that way.  But they are not the same.  The new 3DS has a different processor, and improved screen, more buttons and software that only works on that device.  Its not like PS4 and Slim PS4.

If we combined GB and GBC, I don't see a reason to not combine the 3DS and N3DS. Not that I agree with that anyway.

@Bolded. We might aswell combine PSP, PS Vita and PSConsoles while we're at it XD



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.

Backward compatibility my friend. also n3ds has n3ds exclusives as well as 3ds and ds games right? if it were new, wouldn't it be 3ds only? (talking about how nintendo always does things with its HHs)

I get wat your trying to say but no matter wat its a 3ds. Same way Vita TV sales are tracked with vita sales as its the vita family. (you can argue Those pairings are much much much different than n3ds + 3ds)

Not for a long time, if ever.

Fine, then continue pretending to be oblivious while refusing to face the truth at the same time. 

psp go + psp, vita + ps tv, ds + dsi all made much more sense than gb + gbc ever will and 3ds + n3ds has yet to make any sense. With the former you can guarantee that almost all of the games are compatible with each variant but if you want to play games specific to the N3DS then your SOL no matter what. Like it or not the N3DS has it's own identity so it's not a 3DS no matter how much you hate to hear it but we'll soon figure just how much having it's own identity matters ...
