It´s really not that hard to understand...Nintendo found great success with arcade like games (2D Mario, sports games like WiiSports, etc..)...that´s what skyrocketed them to success with the NES, Wii and the handhelds...when they abandoned games like those, and that´s exactly what happened with the N64/GC, they suffered drastic decline.

Now the 3DS looks more like a N64/GC direction than a DS/GameBoy/SNES direction....it can change, of course, but so far that´s the message.

By the way, shouldn´t this thread be in the Nintendo section?

The SNES actually belongs to the wrong direction, but it usually isn't perceived that way because it still came out on top during the fourth generation. I have little to no doubt that the 3DS will sell more than the NGP, but that, just like the SNES, doesn't signal that Nintendo was doing the right things.

I meant in the context the SNES was still all about arcade like games, while its successor was devoid of them...the major blow was the sports games going to the Genesis.

Rol, about the bolded, I agree with you....but do you think the 3DS will at least surpass the GameBoy Advance numbers? (something around 82 million sold)
