I know.  I just was making a futile attempt at comedy.  It's not the first time.

There isn`t much 3DS software out and the $250 price point is very steep. So I doubt it outsells the DS in 2011. Right now the diehard Nintendo hardcore and early adopters who want to play around with the glasses-free 3D tech are buying it. It`ll take awhile before it penetrates the soccer mom mass market. Though the 3DS is also getting sales from people that basically just want to play DS games (ie. Pokemon Black and White) as well. 3DS hardware is selling more than 3DS software.



DS deserves to sell more than 3DS.

ok, take a knife and cut your op in 2. You have the good part and the what? part... though you also have a decent mario argument at the end.

 

edit: oh that was actually an old thread....means I probably took the op out of context.

This thread was pretty amusing to read through.  A lot of crow to be served.  At least as far as the launch period predictions.  We'll see how the full year fairs.

I guess it makes sense, but it is funny how the DS comparison is the same after the launch.  However the people using it are doing it to make 3DS sales look worse, rather than using it to predict higher 3DS sales.



My victory draws near.
