Is Pokemon hurting the 3DS?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. People are whining about Nintendo "abandoning" the Wii despite games like The Last Story, Mario Party 9 and Fatal Frame 2 all slated for release, but then they don't completely abandon the DS despite way more people owning one and suddenly it's bizarre and stupid.

What's with the backlash and the meltdowns anyway? It's an expansion/follow up on Black & White, nothing about it was going to take full advantage of the 3DS's exclusive features. Are you really trying to tell me that the equivalent of Pokemon Grey is "hurting" the 3DS and somehow negates the inevitable Gen 6 (and possibly 7) that's going to launch on that platform? Get real.

It is the gamecube problem all over again. People yell at Nintendo to try new things, they try new things for each one of their franchises and they get backlash. The only new thing they tried that didn't recieve backlash was most likely Metroid Prime. 

Nintendo problem has always been damned if you do, damned if you don't.
