im surprised since the 3ds strategy is the same as the wii, the wii is a gamecube with a gymic the 3ds is a ds with a gymic, it should have worked , they should have sold millions.

The strategy behind the 3DS isn't even remotely similar. Not even on the processing power aspect. The Wii was an overclocked Gamecube while the 3DS actually made a generational leap in line with previous generations. Historically, successful handhelds have been about two generations behind home consoles in terms of processing power and the 3DS is no different. The only outlier so far has been the PSP which has been only one generation behind. The NGP will be the next one, provided it is successful.

well the wii is suppose to be more advance than the gamecube, but they never programed a game to make the differece notizable and is the same with the 3ds up until now, no game in 3ds right now looks like it cant be done in ds, that is why many are "satified with [their] ds".  So the strategy is the same at the end.
