Ah, another prediction from by favorite analyst Sebastian Kramer. Oh Rol.

The funny part is that people are actually falling for it, I mean seriously. 

What's genius is how controversial this subject is, so it generates a lot of interest.  Also, a weak 3DS launch would spell the opposite of doom for the NGP, imo.  It would spell "w-i-n-n-i-n-g", as Charlie sheen likes to say. lol

That statement is based on the assumption that one company's loss is another one's gain, but video games are a luxury item, so if one product fails it doesn't mean that interest translates to a competing product.

Take last year's Guitar Hero and Rock Band games for example. When GH bombed the RB creators were in hopes that people held off of GH to buy the superior RB a couple of weeks later. It ended with RB bombing even harder than GH.

True.  I only mean it at the very core.  Meaning one person who only picks one console and doesn't get a 3DS is one more potential available consumer who might be swayed by NGP down the line.  I mean only that.  I think that's reasonable enough.  More people might be open to a handheld if they don't have one already.
