3DS is a very anti-social device.  To me that is a major problem.

I've formed conversational relationships with people I'd never really talked to before because they're on my way home from work.

StreetPass is kind of an amazing social tool all on its own.

Again, i think he was talking about the online section of the device, which many individuals outside of video game industry consider "anti-social behaviour".

I have no reason to believe that the scope of his argument is so limited; he's just monstrously wrong in asserting that it's impossible for StreetPass to be a social tool.

Also my statement did not make sense. I mean online gaming is considered (By those that might not game) to be anti-social to begin with, so the statement is self-defeating! :P

Khuutra is 100% right as Kylie posted again if you two didn't notice

The man thinks talking to people face to face while playing your 3DS' together isn't using the device to be social (IE scope of his argument) but believes it has to have text and voice messages like Wii, PS3, and 360 to be a social device, which makes no logcial sense (btw he only listed PS3 and 360 purposely leaving out the Wii even though it sends text, voice, and pictures) 

And this is all before the big major update comes... cause... yeah... why would it have all these features like PS3 and 360 have if they weren't going to enable you to message them?  They are it will just be apart of the major update I can assure you of that.

Apparently being social with a device isn't being social in person, for whatever reason, local play is what sold the Wii, it's what sells Pokemon to this day, and what attracts people to some of the biggest FPS francises ever... cause what do you know most gamers aren't people that only socialize online... but they still want their devices to be a medium of socialization in person...
