LOL at an analyst downgrading the 3DS because it does not have achievments for those of us with a mild dose of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder to have great angst over.
The region locking will lead to piracy as there will inevitably be some Japanese games those of us in the West must absolutely have at any cost to play. Nintendo should re-evaluate this.
If I can play the 3DS with it's charger is plugged into a wall, then my concerns over it's battery life are minute. I can see the point, but it is really picking at straws.
Lastly, the lack of it being a multi-functional device has a lot of validity. The DS and PSP released in the infancy of cell phone gaming. Nowadays with Apple, Google, Microsoft and other companies creating mini laptops called smart phones, I could see sales suffering due to the lack of other functions for the 3DS.
