everyone saying how Ninty messed up with the 3DS advertisment, how are they supposed to advertise it??? THe main draw for the system is the 3D which cant be shown on tv, so its already an uphill battle. They put it in Walmarts and other big stores which was a good move, but IMHO maybe people are not that impressed by the effect. Redesign??? How, the DS had one of the best designs for a portable ever, if not the best. How would you redesign it and still have an analog and a 2nd screen that makes sense to use???


Well there are a few 3D channels out there, they could atleast put adverts made specifically for those out. But you are right, the required infrastructure just isn't there to effectively advertise it but if it were then its USP wouldn't exist either so they kind of shot themselves in the foot a little bit there din't they.


It requires imagination to build a great tv ad that really showcases it's 3D ability. Having things 'pop out' of the screen, and someone fitting their head inside the 3D screen to view a wide open view. @oinyide So you expect Nintendo to forever use the DS design? You lack imagination if you think there is no way to redesign it. Sliding instead of opening. One could also redesign it so when closed the 3D screen is protected. Nintendo has great minds that work with them, I'm sure they could think of an awesome design for it. Because like many before, my own family thinks its a DS with 3D at a higher 250 price tag.
