Re: Talking Point: The Nintendo 3DS, A System That Still Has a Role to Play

The 3DS shall reach it's lifespan of course, but not in the next 3 years if we compare it's game libary with that of the Switch after 4 months of release and it's upcoming game libary is still a surprise for us, It has a very long way to go before it can sell well. On The day of release it will have a lot of people who are going to buy the Switch with Zelda, but after that it will sell less than most people would think. After Jule the game library will start growing and more indie-games and third-party games are on their moves, what means that the switch will gain more attention and thus more buyers. Most of the games they like to buy are getting released around October - December together with a bundel and that's the time it will reach a higher position and reach more sales than the Wii U did. If we look at end 2018, it will be easier to say that the Switch has surpassed the Xbox one and PS4 and if he does, we can say that Nintendo should support the 3DS for only a year of 2-3 to bring out a new handheld, but if the Switch will fail like the Wii U did (low chance) than the 3DS will stil be supported for around the 4-5 years.

But after all, the 3DS is stil a whorty handheld with a bright future and there is no reason why Nintendo would stop with supporting the 3DS.
