"Let's take a look at the positives. Firstly, the 3DS, after a slow start, is outpacing the DS, the original GameBoy and even the PlayStation 2. But that's after a terrible launch that saw Nintendo revenues cut in half and executies talking 50% pay cuts. 2011 was officially the year of the 3DS, as no other platform sold more units over a nine month period. "
all that matters right now
I am a gamer, not a share holder.
uh the vita didnt slow the 3ds down at all.......
it sold 250k worldwide last week and that was number 1
Is this why game freak made drill dozer on the gba 1 year after the ds launch?
how did the ds turn out?
He complains about ports, and then he asked for one. Thats the problem with idiots.
And fyi the 3ds was breaking launch records when it launched. It was after that things got sticky
did I imagine drill dozer from gamefreak 1-2 years after the ds launched?
did you bitch then?
will never happen
Well numbers are irrelevant when you dont look at the circumstances
And fyi, when nintendo slashes 3ds forecasts and its still the number 1 system worldwide. What do forecasts mean?
faultering?
Its the strongest year for japanese rpgs in each region for years
1) you dont need 2 sticks to make incredible games, even 3d one
2) Comfort is my preference
3) not everything is cod
it willbomb
hsi analysts arent supported by trends, facts or statistics.
I hate to break it to you but the 3ds slide pad is the most comfortable thing ever
The point was when a company has a series that works they will make new games until rapture
Please dont agree with me because I dont agree with you.
Patcher ignores facts, and the state of affairs
just his neogaf comments. Nothing to get crazy over
All I can think about is the remodel with this. The pads are far more comfortable than any Ive played on
And when did the first ds rpg pokemon happen? 2006.
Drill dozer
JP September 22, 2005
NA February 6, 2006
So the point still stands
another japanese rpg in the states this year. At the end of a gen. I cant honestly think of a better year in history for localizations
Again chris cant see the big picture.
Let me educate you on portable history.
The ds has launched, and the gba is on its way out.
What does gamefreak do?
they release pokemon emerald, and drill dozer on the gba.
The first rpg pokemon doesn't come on the ds until 2006.
2 years later.
We are just now appraoching the end of the first year.
pokemon rumble bla...
How is it the COD of rpgs? COD comes out once every year like clockwork.
Each main line pokemon takes a minimum of 2 years, most times longer.
Again if you dont know anything about pokemon dont post.
The changes between pokemon gen 1 and gen 5 are so radical, of course its a new game.
The 3ds is number 1 worldwide dude.
Nobody moved more hardware or software than nintendo did in 2011.
In 2012.
Same thing
The 3ds is kickign everyones ass
