How do you think the 3DS will perform saleswise?

To me the 3DS is suffering from 'SNES Syndrome'. The SNES, alongside N64 and GC, were merely better versions of the NES, they weren't the revolutionary products the Wii/DS were. That is what the 3DS seems like, an improved DS , but not a revolution. And glasses free 3D isn't a revolution. Merely evolution of 3D tech.

 

Wow N64 a better version of the NES. Dude N64 was the first 3D console and it also pioneered Rumble technology and other technologies. Now I admit GameCube was a improved N64 with better graphics, but the 3DS is largely independant. Similiar controls but 3D visuals have never been done before and you can't really call it a simply improved DS.

How you can not consider the N64 a revolutionary system is beyond me. Many credit Super Mario 64 for birthing the 3D games industry. Nintendo's consoles are usually revolutionary GameBoy , NES , N64 , DS , Wii and now 3DS Nintendo almost always revolutionalizes the way we play games.

If it changes the way we play or percieve games then it is revolutionary and the 3DS is nothing like the SNES was to the NES. Its not just a graphical update the new 3D feature will change the way we play games in the future.
