Man God said: This is why I laugh at anyone who doesn't think the Switch is also replacing the 3DS. It's crystal clear that this is the true end of cycle year for it. DQ XI will be the last major release. Click to expand...

With Nintendo killing whatever life Wii U had left since early last year, 3DS is the only source of revenue for them at dedicated video game market. And that's basically in Japan, at west only Pokemon took off, not the entire software market. They want to use it as an alternative source for money as long as they can but it's pretty obvious its days are counted. Outside Japan things are either way nothing to celebrate, Japan is at better shape but with so small number of new releases and nothing big from Nintendo it will hold better but still drop hard this year.The only title that could be defined as "big" is FE and that still has a lot of work to do because right now, based on preorders and being an ever more frontloaded title than previous, hype must be a little over zero.
