Didn't you get the memo yet it's a totally new generation handheld.

yeah but How?

i remember Game Boy Micro , DSi , PSPGo , IPhone 3G , Ipad all being called "The next generation" by their PR.

are you saying that people are blindly going to go for PR talk?

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

Let me get this straight, you were not excited to see the PS3 or any other hardware??? Of course I wanna see the games but first I want to see how it looks like, how it's going to work and what to expect from the device. I'm really hyped just to see it. Honestly the unknown only makes it better.

I think you need to understand the difference of being hyped to see new things and being hyped to actually go out, buy it and play it.

@bolded.

honestly no , i didn't give a damn until games showed up.

@the other bolded

thats why i made this thread, i want to know why people are touting it as next generation and not thinking it as just a visual upgrade. (like 720-->1080p )

i am also not trying to ruin anyone's excitement here , i am just asking to know why everyone thinking its a next generation so i can be excited too. (i am repeating myself =s )
