Is NGP the most doomed thing ever?

Not going to say one or the other is doomed.  But i'm going to just compare the 3DS to the Wii.

The 3DS is going to be just like the Wii.  Whether it succeeds or not like the Wii in the long run, I think we can all agree that the 3DS, or the 3D part will be an instant success FAD.  People are going to be so amazed over it like they were over the Wii's motion.  This will thus move a crap load to start.  If it continues to sell like the Wii who knows and I am not going to get into that prediction.

Nope, 3d is very important, especially for developers. What 3d does is make a huge visual impact on any game (even original  gameboy games) without any  extra expense. Thats why developers are so interested in the 3ds.

Now on the flip side: In order for NGP to have a huge visual impact is to have ps3 like graphics. This adds tens of millions to a budget of a normal game. Thats probably the reason why ngp seemingly have no 3rd party support.

Another note, 3d is a graphical enhancement that can actually  improve gameplay. No amount mapping and shading does that.
