Most of the kids I see playing on a handheld are under 10. I think it is just as risky to give a young kid a 3DS or an NGP. Hell even a regular DSi given to an young kid is just as risky if not more. You will probably say well yeah it isnt bright to give a young kid a $250 device. Well that is a huge part of Nintendo's market. I dont see the 3DS or the NGP ever having the impact of the DS because it is attacked from less demand by older kids because of phones and less attractive for parents of younger kids because of pricing. Also by the way our family plan for our phones has insurance that only costs us a few bucks per month. And by the way I have seen just as many adults screw up there phones as teens. My 50 year old sister hopped in the pool with her iphone in the pocket of her swimsuit. She isnt the only adult that I know that has done that. |
That's true the 3DS was a step in the rong direction. Im still happy they made that step. Will they pay a hardware price for it. Yes.
With new competition and this bad move they will only sell 80 million 3DS. when do we say its no longer worth Nintendo's time and money to produce such a device? if they sell only 20 million?
OK but If they sell 20 million 3DS and sell 20 million Pokemon games ever year, how much money are they losing? Will Nintendo ever totaly Pwn/own a gen like they just did? No But they still will remain market leaders. Why?
Cause they arn't in this bisness for bisness-sake like its rivals.
