Then again, I'm unsure of the future of handheld gaming and the role tablets and smartphones will have in it so this is hard to say. But, no matter what happens, the 3DS is more than likely not "doomed" or "d0med" or anything of the sort. The only thing I can say for certain right now is that it is extremely unlikely to come anywhere near the DS' sales in its lifetime. |
"The only thing I can say for certain right now is that it is extremely unlikely to come anywhere near the DS' sales in its lifetime." ..
you say this like as if any other console can come close to the DS lifetime sales in the future...

You're going to have to elaborate there. How am I implying that other consoles will? You think that I believe that the Vita, PS3, 360 or Wii will come close to DS numbers?
"Tyson Gay is extremely unlikely to beat Usain Bolt at the 100 meters final in the 2012 London Olympic Games." Does that sentence imply that some other sprinter will beat him or be close to beating him?
I'm sorry if this comes off as a tad obsessive but I really want to know how you read that into my post.

err no your implying that it is a bad thing that the 3DS wont get close to the DS sales.. just for the sake of putting a negative spin to your post!..
well.. just like saying well the vita will never come close to the DS sales... does it need to even be said?.. just for the sake of putting a negative spin to it see? everyone knows nothing at this point can come close to the DS sales.. why bother saying it.. unless your implying something else would..

I honestly believe that you are the only person in this thread who sees this negative spin in my post. If anything, I wrote the post to disarm the fallacy of thinking the 3DS "doomed". Constructing strawmen does nothing to improve your argument and you're simply misinterpreting my whole point for the sake of stirring things up a little. I've been in here for too long to fall for it and I realize that further discussion is fruitless.

right.. how would you feel if I said something like..
.. You know the vita.. it will do alright.. but no fcuking way it will ever .. everrr! get close to DS sales.. (understand?)
"I've been in here for too long to fall for it and I realize that further discussion is fruitless.".. --- well if you put that way then you must be an expert and know more than me.. my bad.
