Why I am disappointed by the 3DS....

When I saw the first glimpse of this new device, my heart sank and I could feel a little tear coming on. Afterwards I felt like screaming to the monitor at Nintendo with tons of foul language. Why? Well the answer is simple...the device looks just like a DS. Is that bad? Not really but seeing how this is suppose to be a new system, it is.

While I hope this was just a prototype or something; this is still something Nintendo has to change.

Also since the name is the 3DS how will Nintendo manage to regain consumers to buy it? It looks like any other DS out there, and I doubt the 3D will want to make them buy it just how XL has failed. 

There isn't anything wrong with the features and the AWESOME line up of games (hyped) its just the design of it that ticks me off. 

This just makes me think Nintendo was lazy. At least Sony when they made their PSP Go, they changed it up a bit and it looks pretty good but its failed because its digital only. Like who wants that??

The above picture is that of a sliding Helio phone.

Lets take the current 3DS, do you see where I am going at? Instead of closing, the 3DS should slide.

The 3D screen would be on the top, and the touchscreen would be located in the middle, right there where the keyboard buttons are on the HELIO phone. You can figure out the rest. Well thats what I imaged Nintendo would do, and it would help it distinguish itself from the DS series.

Like when you start watching 3D movies or any movies, you would just close it by sliding and be able to watch the movie more better. Friends and family will also be able to have a better view of it, then it being open like the DS.

So don't you agree? What are some things you do not currently like about the 3DS? Any suggestions?
