yea i get what your saying.  someone may be able to watch 3D and not get sick, and someone may be able to play a game in the car and not get sick.  but doing both could make him sick.  but that is just speculation.

besides, you can turn OFF the 3D can you not?  besides playing on the go is not 100% in a vehicle either.


but isnt the 3d what makes the 3ds stand out? besides the 3d what else is a really good reason for buying a 3ds besides playing "nintendo" games

That's what I don't get at all, either.  It seems to be the answer for anything negative about the 3DS.  The battery life too short, turn off the 3D.  The effect makes you sick, turn off the 3D.  What's the point in owning a 3DS, then?  Of course, for supporters of Nintendo the answer will be the games, but not all people bought the DS just for games made by Nintendo.  There are 3 reasons I bet a lot of casuals and previous non-gamers bought it.  One, it was on the market before the PSP in all regions, almost a year ahead in a few regions.  Two, It cost a whole $100 less than the PSP at launch.  Three, many liked the touchscreen feature. 

And let's be honest, what's going to be the reason the mainstream are going to purchase this over the NGP, or update from a DS/PSP?  The 3D, of course.  I mean it's only part of its name and the main point put into its marketing.  If the answer for any problem they may have with it just turn the 3D off, I doubt many mainstreamers are going to see a need for it.
