Analyst: "The 3DS went from hot to not in a matter of days."

Pretty lame reasons to think it will flop. No handheld (that I can name) has ever had achievements so why does it matter now? And sure the short battery life is disappointing but we don't know how true those rumours are yet.

Only way I see it failing is if its too expensive, i.e. Over $300.
