@bold. Glad you can still make me laugh.

@10M vs 16M. Selling 10M units before your competitor should reassure 3rd parties, especially if they are encouraged to launch New Megaman or New Castlevania as hit flagships (with marketing and AAA effort just like RE:R) and are taking part in the success 1 year in advance. Then, once Nintendo jumps in, they are encouraged to make games like RE:R. With 10M units 3DS units sold prior to competitor, and with the DS getting excellent 3rd party support all through its lifecycle with that same a much lesser time advantage over PSP, I don't see the worry.

@original-point. Agree to disagree. Monster apps with deadly appeal and excellent marketing defeat mildly excessive pricepoint. With lack of a counter-example apart from the iPad, I'm at a loss.

You put too much trust in third parties. You also should take another look at the release schedules and software sales for the DS and PSP from mid-2009 onwards. You see nothing to worry about, because you have been oblivious of how the market has developed.

What is that iPad thing about? We are talking about video game systems, for god's sake.

@iPad. It's a portable with software apps. The type of software does not matter since they both target a similar consumer (casual and mass).

@DS-3rd-party. I see heavy 3rd party support for the DS. Quantity =/= quality. What is your argument?
