back in December it was reported that 3DS had sold as many units in its first 8 months than DS had in its first year. Since then 3DS had continued it's beastly ascent thanks to Monster Hunter 3G and with Monster Hunter 4 still on the horizon (and still no real Pokemon game to come out yet) there's no reason to believe the 3DS's future won't be even better what it is right now.
