The Micro and the DSi were never touted as anything but new iterations of current hardware. That's not what the 3DS is.

You realize the 3DS is just a codename, right? THat's not the name of the platform. It's not necessarily going to have the DS moniker at all.

so how are you guys going to assume that its going to be huge if you don't even know the name of the thing?

atleast we should see some games, or something

First of all, you're confusing curiosity with excitement - I'm more curious about the hardware han I am excited.

Secondly, you're putting words into the mouths of a lot of people, me included, and erecting this Nintendo-oriented strawman is not a good way to prove a point.

Thirdly, assuming that the 3DS is going to be enormous isn't exactly a stretch of the imagination. It's a new handheld by Nintendo that provides glasses-free 3D and it's going to have the software backing that Nintendo has been providing to handhelds for twenty years. This isn't rocket science. At this point it's more like pattern recognition.

Granted, it's not guaranteed that the 3DS will be huge, but it's much safer to assume it will rather than that it won't.
