The DS is getting on a bit now and many people have bought one. It’s had a great run and is home to loads of awesome games but now with the 3DS looming on the horizon, the end is near.

This is refelcted in the year-on-year sales which show a decline in sales of 26%. The Wii on the other hand had a 1% increase and while it’s good sales went up 1%, when compared to the Xbox 360 and PS3 at 119% and 76% respectively, it’s not looking too great right now for Nintendo hardware.

Xbox 360 +119%
PlayStation 3 +76%
Wii +1%
DS -26%
PSP -32%

What you need to keep in mind here though is that while there was a small increase in Wii sales, 1% on top of an already large sales number is still impressive and even the 360 and PS3 haven’t caught up with Wii sales even considering 119% and 76% increases, as you can see below:

Wedbush Morgan analyst on his predictions for a 3DS release date and pricing. I know Nintendo don’t sell hardware at a loss like Sony and Microsoft but fingers crossed they keep the price as close to the cost as possible!

“I expect the device to be available only on eBay for its first couple of months. I think that we Westerners won’t have an opportunity to buy before Christmas, so think that sales by Christmas will be limited to a few million in Japan… I see it having huge success as an upgrade device, with sales likely limited only by supply and price. My best guess is that they will price it around 0/£199/€250, so this may limit demand somewhat, and I doubt that Nintendo will manufacture more than 10 – 15 million the first full year… I think that the 3DS’s addressable market is really the current DS market and some overlap with the current PSP market. That’s still a huge market opportunity.”
