| Degausser said: You said 3DS has the stuff to encouraging taking it with you and sharing stuff... but I think NGP has that too. Sony talked up something like that, about seeing what games people are playing around you and then being able to buy it straight away. I think the sharing content sort of stuff is coming just not been talked about much. I think initially both devices are aimed at very different audiences. NGP seems to be targeting the 360/PS3 type demographic, 26 year old average gamer who buys COD, GTA, AC. Whereas 3DS is aimed more at the Nintendo type audience and younger gamers, and I think it'll be a year or so before the consoles target markets really start to overlap.

"Nintendo" type audience and kids? Tell me you're kiddig. Nintendo has said in plenty of interviews that they are targetting the hardcore with the 3DS. The casuals will come aboard because of the 3D, but I doubt the csuals are Nintendo's prime target anymore. NINTENDO pushed games like Saints Row and Driver for the 3DS to prevent it from being a "kiddie" console.
Had they treated the 3DS like the DS and let devs make what they want, we would see a lot more shovelware confirmed, and less mature games.
