EVERYONE likes the name 3DS, most people were happy with calling it that, since we pretty much improvised the name ourselves, and its not like Nintendo would actually take our name for it.

Yes, the DS name is realy popular but also keep in mind that it will confuse the consumer thinking it's just another iteration of the DS.

Like how the PS3 is just another iteration of the PS2? It's all in the software, Nintendo will show consumers how it's different to 'another iteration of the DS' by producing software like Nintendogs that isn't possible* on the DS system or competing systems (PSP, PSP2, iPod Touch, Android devices, other smart phones etc).

*You can say that Nintendogs would have been possible on other platforms but it wouldn't have been a system seller because it wouldn't have been such a great fit.
