| bmmb1 said: Nothing to do with confusion. I believe the 3DS came out when it did because (the way Nintendo saw it) the DS was on its way down in Japan, the market (again, the way Nintendo saw it) was really looking forward to it and would grab it even at a high price, and as far as Nintendo were concerned it was "ready enough". What we are seeing here and in other matters may be the result of it having been "ready enough" as far as Nintendo, but having actually come 6-9 months too early from a product readiness point of view. Specifically OT, Nintendo may have actually decided on this due to developer feedback (e.g. many developers would maybe prefer their game use the second core rather than having the OS do this or that in the background while their game is running (?)). Not that I complain, I don't - I have the 3DS from Day 1, I am very happy with it and playing it daily, and doing this can only be a good thing. |
Didn't they release it without their own hard hitters because they wanted to leave the launch window empty for 3rd parties, which 3rd parties complained about how they can't compete against Nintendo's own titles?
