"Consumers shrugged off Nintendo's last handheld, the 3DS, when it came out last March. Less than four months later, the company had to cut the price by $80 from $249.99 because of disappointing sales."
Lets tell the truth on this. 3DS sales were always good. They cut the price to break fiscal end of year records which they are doing.
The 3ds was the top selling system in 2011, and is breaking records in all regions.
How are sma...
I just read a whole lot of hot air, generalizations, and mis information
shutup bosses rule
stop trolling dude. The 3ds was number 1 well before a price drop that all systems have in there first years.
People loved those "ancient" LOL games
Nintendos president taking a paycut is irrelevent, stock is irrelevant
Original game? I would mich rather have proven IP's than the shit most companies churn out.
How many times do people want to play mario or zelda? ask the people who made those series very successfu...
thats always been the case.
Lets take last gen on the PS2. Nothing sold more than gta or madden, the problem is people are letting sales run there lives.
hes right on the point that everyone should do there own thing
I disagree that he says japanese games arent selling/doing well in the west.
Ive bought more japanese games this gen than any other
most systems get price drops dude. That was like 6 months ago.
Hell the ps3 had one the next day.
And it being crap is the minority opinion. Especially since its kicking ass
its called tongue and cheek. Get with the program
you people do realize monolith put alot of stuff on the ds so it only makes sense
the 3ds and vita are already rpg beasts and theyve only been out a year
All I have to say is the 3ds is number 1 worldwide and breaking records to see all it takes is good original games and people will buy anything
when I see that list I see they wont NOT be making profit this year
its getting localized in 2012 on vita
the list started off bad and then you mentioned ff and valkyria
Expect alot of japanese rpgs on the thing
hell, theres already alot
Did 3ds do that? and its outselling everything.
Jesus christ, mobile is not the end of the world
most systems have unsteady launches
"The PS Vita is the reimagining of the disappointing PSP, "
good now I can ignore this
800 game library is a problem?
it had more exclusives than all the consoles combined
exactly
the psp sold more units in the US and Europe. Way more than japan
This article is so bad
"Being able to play big, grown-up console games properly"
So handheld games before this werent grown up?
"Vita will comfortably outsell 3DS in the west in the long run,"
We dont know anything yet
Alot of generalizations, mis information, lies to sound grand
and the nintendo bashing is sickening as well
I own it, its nice, But for me to say its the best ever is ridiculous when theres at least 4 handhelds with amazing libraries
we dont know whats to come
how can you say its the best handheld ever when it just launched?
This is what I mean by over reacting.
Honestly the best handhelds were the ds and psp, second to the gba
can the 3ds and vita be right there? sure they can
7 years from now
you can assume i wouldnt geenralize
