i personally think it will succeed. there are many many people who are literally inslaved to some series and will buy consoles and games even though they are probably bad
Yeah, that's the reason I bought my 3DS. Sure it looked like it'd be cool, but I bought it for two games: the new Paper Mario game that came out last year, and the new Fire Emblem game that's coming to the US in February. Any other games I get for it are just to be considered a bonus.
i probably wont be able to face the temptation and get it eventually espacially for super smash brothers
Probably what's gonna happen with me as well. I had heard they were gonna do a dual release for the new one on the Wii U and the 3DS, but two things. 1) I don't remember if I had credible evidence of that, and 2) console version would probably stomp the handheld version anyway, if no other reason than it has a bigger screen to view the gameplay off of.
Sales are decent now but they may get worse depending on looks of PS4 and New Xbox. Also we have yet to see how will Nintendo manage to get 3rd party support for it.
I remember hearing a little information about the "Xbox 720" a while back, but has anything been released about the PS4? I thought that was a little longer off, but I haven't checked recently, so I dunno :P
