Ok this system had cruddy games at Launch A Mario Game Or Kid Icarus should of been released instead of Street Fighter 4 which is probably the same as the 360 one but in 3D. Ocarina of Time wasn't a best seller where I live, They still had lots of copies left after the release date. Some guy in Japan said Nintendo stole their 3D technology That is a Bunch of Crap That 3D effect is originally taken from The Fisher Price Viewmaster It's the same effect as the 3DS. Here's the link to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/View-Master.
It's not really an insult when you quote something from wikipedia... you do know that the whole renaissance section was written by a 12 year old? Yeah... and I'm sure this is some persons fanboy attitude towards a new system that they didn't want to fork out some money for.
I own the Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Advance SP, and that is it. I missed out on the Micro, the Nintendo DS, DS-lite, DS-phat, and 3DS (and soon to be 3DS Cheepz). People don't want to buy a system that has not a lot of games seeing that the
people who play the Nintendo DS are mainly preteens under the age of 12.
Could you fork out $200+ by the age of 12?. I don't think so. The reason that the 3DS hasn't exactly "went off like fireworks" is because the parents don't want to shell out more money on their greedy ass children. Why buy a new system, when your old system runs perfectly fine? That's how parents feel.
The Nintendo 3DS is not going to be "quote unquote" "RARE" like the "Virtual Boy" as there are already more than 8 games on the market and $300 back then is more like $1,500 today. The price drop will bring in a crowd of people that have been "wanting" the system, but waiting for a price drop. You would be surprised (and I am sure Shenske can vouch for this aswell working in retail) how crazy people go when a game goes from $9.99 to $7.99. Suddenly... the game is gone, and all it was was a $2 price drop. Nintendo just wants more money... if more people buy their systems, more money comes in from the sales of all the games sold. Parents will buy the cheaper system as they will justify it as "it's about time this thing is cheaper". Do you even know how hard it is to get a job lately? Jesus, price of eggs is now $1.18, people don't want to rebuy something that already works perfectly and have their already working piece of hardware (the Nintendo DS) thrown on the shelf and be seen as a waste of $200+That and
LOL with the pricematch!! Good call dude!!! Will totally do it!!
