You think the 3DS cost nothing to research and make? I still think it's not the right direction, but I don't think it was cheap.

I doubt their game development studios had anything to do with R&D/making the 3DS, maybe one or two of them were involved in 3DS firmware/OS/built in games - Otherwise, what is it about 3DS that leads you to believe that the device making itself hogged enough resources to nearly halt game develpement on all their other platforms?

Besides, as I already wrote, allegedly focusing on the 3DS is no excuse for the biggest publisher on earth to be in this type of situation - Last quarter was no better: http://features.metacritic.com/features/2011/25-best-wii-games/  sad

this -- and if all the nintendo fans on this site are correct - wii/ds/3DS games are significantly less costly (i.e. take less people) to make then ps3/psp/NGP therefore nintendo ought to be able to exceed the number of first party games that sony can make.

so why is sony destroying nintendo on the number of games created over the last couple of years?

Nintendo want people to save a bit of cash rather than spend far too much on games they will play and forget.

Am I reading this right? Are you seriously saying you think Nintendo have intentionally not released anything of note in Q1 and Q2 to help people save money for Zelda or something? Honestly, words fail me.

I didn't think the old 'they're doing it to give third parties a chance' excuse could be bested, but you've somehow managed it.

There could be more games in Q4, and having lots of quality titles within 3 months can't be a good thing, you'll end up spending a fortune.
