I'm just wondering how that's any different for anything that anyone would likely have on them. If I get mugged I'm likely to lose my wallet (so my money and any and all credit/debit cards, ID, etc), my watch, and anything electronic including my phone or whatever else I'm carrying. So saying that this is a stupid idea because someone might get mugged would be no different to saying it's a stupid idea to carry money because you might get mugged. But then how am I going to pay for anything?

Hell, lets just stay inside on the off chance there's a mugger lurking in every bush...

Children do not carry wallets and are rarely the targets for muggings unless carrying something valuble (which they usually do not).

OK, let me get this straight.  This feature, which is designed to operate while the clam shell is closed and most likely in your pocket while you walk, is going to attract more muggings than usual?  As in it will generate more muggings than kids being in public and openly using their 3DS as a games machine...just like the Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Game Gear, Nomad, PSP, DS, portable phone, etc...?

Do I have that right?  A feature used while the system is stored away will create an increase in muggings over the standard out in open use of the system...or any other portable system ever?

Kylie, just stop with the passive aggressive swings at Nintendo.  They are really getting old and blatantly obvious.  And your credibility as a veteran poster here drops every single time you utter one.
