But without Mario Kart 7, they wouldn't have built up huge momentum in the first place. The 3DS would have been a $250 system with only one big original game and a bunch of remakes and ports.


Do you really think the successor to the DS launching early November with Nintendogs, Layton, Zelda, Street Fighter, Sonic and Resident Evil... With Mario 3D and Monster Hunter a Month later along with numerous other 3rd party games launching a Month later, wouldn't have momentum going into Jan/Feb/March until Mario Kart and the other "big" games release?

It would have certainly been selling higher than it was in May, June or July of 2011. Games would be releasing regularly. It would have been bringing in more money for Nintendo. It would have been an almost perfect launch.

Just to clarify to some other posts - I'm not saying any handheld can/could succeed at a £250 pricepoint. I'm saying the 3DS could have.

I agree with you too... but there is no way in hell they will listen to me.... I would just cause rage that would strengthen their resolve further.

I think you'd be okay unless you bring up racing games.
