So after the NPD, is the 3DS doomed again?

Your logic is this: Higher market share leads to more commitment.

But how do you explain the PSP rebounding in Japan after it had already been clearly outpaced by the DS? With an attach rate of below 2.0 and an installed base that was millions of units behind the DS, third party publishers should have let the PSP die. That didn't happen. Instead they turned around and fully backed the PSP while abandoning the DS.

Courtesy of Metacritic for all to see. 

DS

(90+) = 7

(80-89) = 107

(70-79) = 261

PSP

90+ = 2

80-89 = 89

70-79 = 182

- DS has more total games.

- DS has more quality titles......a lot more. 

- DS still outsells PSP worldwide even with 3DS migration. Just stop, I have real sources backing me up.

If you have real sources to back you up, then disprove my point above with them.

My argument is that the early release of the 3DS (and higher market share) will lead to higher developer support. You claimed this to not be the case.

I countered with the fact that the DS has more total games then the PSP, thus proving you wrong.

You backed up and cited that in shvelware yes, but not in quality games.

I countered by actually counting the number of quality games on each platform. The DS clearly had more quality games then the PSP.

The data I gave you was directly from the Metcritic archives..........it is THERE FOR YOU TO SEE. 

Where as all you can bring to the table is a PSP resurgence in Japan in 2011. Great job buddy, using the PSP performance in ONE territory in ONE year. My logic follows the developers supporting the DS GLOBALLY since 2005 till 2010. Hell even outside Japan I think more DS games get released then PSP games this year.
