Since Nintendo's 3DS has been on sale, the rush to buy a storm has been/ananas. In Japan, Europe, or the United States, 3DS sales are well ahead of any game consoles sold by Nintendo.  However, at this time, the industry has begun to analyze the future of 3DS analysis, the results show that 3DS will only be in its scheduled and just started selling the period of the hot sales, but later 3DS sales will be a decline in the trend. 3DS was launched in the United States only March 27, so its first month of sales was only a few days in late March. However, the short 5-day time, sales are very hot, 3DS in the U.S. region in a day of sales are far more than any of Nintendo's gaming equipment.  Similarly, 3DS was sold in Europe on Friday, March 25, and its sales reached 303,000 units on the first weekend. Just as 3DS was in full swing, a local analytics agency, Screen Digest, made a prediction about the current sales in 3DS,  said that by the end of this year 3DS sales in the world will reach 116 million, then 3DS sales will start to decline, and by 2015, its total sales volume may only be 700 million.  Some analysts have published an analysis of 3DS sales in the United States, which shows that although 3DS has reached 500,000 sales in the United States this month, most of the sales channels have been scheduled before the sale. Michael Pachter, an analyst at U.S. brokerage Morgan, also said he expects sales of Nintendo's previous version of the DS series to be halved in the 3DS, and that in April 3DS will still be very popular in the US region,  Because 3DS is indeed a new game to promote the development of the United States gaming palm Machine.  Analysts at Cowen and Company, a famous American research firm, made an overestimation of 3DS, predicting March 3DS sales in the US would reach 750,000, because he thought the Nintendo 3DS would be a "stabilizing factor" in the handheld market. Meanwhile, Colin Sebastian, an analyst at Lazard Capital CMC, also analyzed the future of 3DS, saying, "As far as our current research is concerned, sales have started to drop slightly after the first few days of the launch from 3DS." Although the ensuing holiday may boost some sales, it is not enough to withstand the 3DS decline. "and Nintendo's previous release of DS and DS Lite sales during the 3DS sale also reached 910 million units." "From Nintendo's 3DS business strategy, we can see that he expects players to be able to carry 3DS anytime, anywhere, at home, out of the house or at work, because 3DS can provide players with different needs," said Piers Harding rolls, an analyst at IHS. "3DS does have powerful features such as 3D image display, camera and AV etc. Compared to Sony, some non professional smartphones or other similar entertainment equipment, 3DS is very competitive.  "Piers said. Yes, regardless of the future sales of 3DS, 3DS is 3DS, a more than the previous Palm machine has a more fun and practical equipment. Let alone 2012 do not know what will happen, let alone 2015.
