@lordtheknight  Gameboy Micro is part of the Gameboy line, far as im concerned its no different than the DSi or lite, do you consider those to be different platforms?? 

I dont give a damn about the mainstream, if the battery life bothers them they dont have to buy it, the rest of us will, theres no argument here. Just stating that what the masses do and like have never had a bearing on what I do and like

1. It still didn't sell well, and you gave no other qualifier in your question, so it's answered.

2. The mainstream is who Nintendo is selling this to, NOT you, or other gamers like you. So your personal feelings are not a counter to my point.

Stop, stop, stop. For God's sake.

In the first case, there is no monolithic "mainstream" demographic, there are demographics which make up the "non-gamer" super-demograpic. You couldn't define mainstream except to say "not hardcore", but that's hardly a well-defined or intuitive demographic in and of itself.

Secondly, your original statement is hideously non-specific with the use of the informal "you", which, given the context of being used on a video game message board when speaking in the second person to another hardcore gamer, could easily be interpreted as the personal you, the general you, or even the first-person "you", which would be using "you" to refer to yourself.

You don't have the semantic ground to take that tone with anyone in this topic.
