Is this some kind of response to disarm the 3DS sickness news?


DId you read the OP? I am not disarming anything, I have an issue with spectacular headlines when there are (unmeasured but real, significant) facts as to problems with FPS that never bothered anyone nor had seemed to affect sales. I have read previous posts of yours so I know you are a reasonable person, so ask yourself this - why do you think any 3DS news even need "disarming" and that such news would be potentially harmful to 3DS sales while you probably never thought much of people reporting getting motion sickness from FPS as potentially harmful to VG sales?

For me, its rather the fact that I've never heard of people getting sick from playing FPS games (other than those faint of heart playing very violent ones, that is) so I don't really get the comparison.

PS: I don't think the 3DS reports will hurt sales at all, all the major Norwegian outlets seemed perfectly pleased and none of them (mysteriously) complained about sickness. The only letdown for them was the price (consumer electronics and consoles are deathly expensive here in Norway).
