One lingering problem that I see with the 3DS.

Ahh. I had hoped that my point was so self evident that I need not explain it. Apparently not. Listen up.

Firstly, these games may not be considered shovelware, I haven't played them, some or all may well be good kids games.

That aside, and much more importantly, my point was that the PS2 and Wii, the two most successful home consoles ever (and please don't point out that the PS1 has still got a slight lead on the Wii, it ain't gonna last), are also the two consoles most associated with kids games and shovelware. This is because developers of kids games and shovelware are perfectly capable of recognising the most popular console, and because the existence of kids games and shovelware further drives hardware sales and revenue for the console they are on.

The fact that the Wii has kids games/shovelware only proves my point.
The fact that the gamecube has kids games/shovelware is no impediment to my point - just because shovelware generally tends to flock to, and cause, a successful console, doesn't mean that it is entirely absent on other consoles.

I believe the cause of your misinterpretation was because you assumed that my point was "how dare you say bad things about Nintendo! In return, I shall say bad things about Sony." I assure you, I really don't give a shit what console maker you like.
