Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Bold Prediction: 3DS will sell 100m by end of LT

 

Will it?

Depends how well the 3DSn takes off and what stellar software Nintendo brings to the 3DS over the next few years. Nintendo missed a big chance to have the 3DSn launch this holiday season in the states, but I guess they didn't want to cannibalize Wii U holiday sales. But 100M is possible.

I think it's possible, but not likely. Nintendo would have to do something drastic to get its lifetime sales to 100M.

at one point anything below 130 million would've been seen as way too conservative.

I don't think that was ever the case.

Even at the height of the DS's reign, the steady march of mobile devices was foreseeable.



I dont think ANY console this gen will reach 100mill. Period.

3DS will max out at about 80mill is my guess.

Definitely a possibility if New 3DS catches on. I mean the DS Lite is what truly made the DS a juggernaut.



Around the Network

Impossible. 65-70 million. If the n3DS becomes a big hit, then 80 million is possible 



Seriously doubt it. Love the 3DS, but even being generous I'd say 3DS would be lucky to end up outselling the Game Boy Advance. I'd guess it'll sell somewhere between 70-85m.



Its possible, but there needs to be a library of compelling n3DS games to make it a must have. If this happens then the system can skyrocket again.



100M should be at its reach if Ninty doesn't commit too many mistakes.
