Industry to Nintendo, "We finally got you."

SaviorX, in the immortal words of Dwayne Johnson: "Know your role and shut your mouth!" It's way too soon to call the 3DS as DOA (as in dead on arrival, not the boob-heavy fighting game of TECMO's design), because as somebody else said, its sales are on par with the original Nintendo DS at the same point in its run, and that's without the aid of Holiday shopping. Just imagine what the sales will be like come Black Friday 2011, after new software and maybe a price cut come into play. It will be selling at "Tickle Me Elmo" capacity, especially if it gets a bump from one or more of the many talk show personalities on TV (I don't know who gives bumps these days,; I remember when Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey had the clout and integrity to give people, places, and things a bump; since Rosie O no longer has the integrity because of recent conduct, and Oprah no longer has the clout because of the cancellation of her talk show, I wonder who will step up?).

As for the Wii, of course sales have slowed down, but then anybody who's anybody already owns one or has owned one in the past.

As for the pending 9th-generation Nintendo console (I'm hesitant to call it Wii2 as of yet), I'm actually very excited about this one, and I already have a possible design in my head for the controller. You see, I believe that motion-control has become "Red Ocean." I believe that the next "Blue Ocean" is simplified control. Two flipper buttons, an analog stick and two round face buttons each sectioned into four quarters, situated diagonally, are all I believe would be necessary for maximum functionality.
