You are obfuscating the real point of the change in how games are played: to be fun. That is exactly the same reason for this 3D: because it is fun, in and of itself. Both have to be supported by excellent software to be viable in any meaningful way, but 3D visuals are no less valid a push forward than touch screens, dual screens, or motion controls (you will note that the DS's biggest game doesn't use the touch screen for anything in particular, for instance).

The 3DS, if Nintendo is smart is going to be all about the games, not the visuals. The visuals will be there to enhance fun, nothing more.

I... think that sounds about right. I concede defeat. I have lost.

...

Wait.

You always say there is no winning in these things, so I can't have lost. Right?

You haven't lost anything, because this isn't a contest. You already held the position that games are the point; you just momentarily thought that a focus on visuals precluded a focus on games, which has been true in the past but isn't necessarily true in the future.
