hmm, so Crytek a company who produces bleeding edge engines. Has a person who makes an excellent salary make positive comments about a 'highly powered' portable machine. Seriously? and he thinks everything is ok with it. Of course he thinks everything is ok. This is what Nintendo is striking with the 3DS without even knowing. They are targeting an upstream market.
I will make this claim. The 3DS is NOT the successor to the DS line. It violates many of the conventions that Nintendo was aiming for the DS line. With people from Crytek and even the upstream Gamers on VG Chartz showing more interest in the 3DS because of it's power rather than software. It's a focus on power rather than experience. It over shoots the mass market price and technological needs. I'm sure Nintendo thinks they have another big hit seller like the DS Phat on launch or the Wii, but they don't. They will hold hard and fast plugging their ears like Sony did and not price cut it for too long.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
