I will bring up again that they just posted their first loss EVER.

Now you're just being obtuse. I explained to you that the loss had very little to do with this strategy. It had to do with offering uncalled for features that the market wasn't willing to pay for on the sacred handheld.

Granted, a lack of games didn't help, but that didn't stop the 3DS from reaching what 15M in year 1 despite the fact.

Pricepoint was the issue, largely.

So, what does that have to do with OP, really?

So you're saying that it was about just pricepoint?  Is that why the PS3 failed or did a horrible launch lineup play a factor as well?

I actually agree that people didn't want to upgrade to a 3DS becuase of the stereoscopic 3D.  I argue that most people don't want to upgrade to the Wii U because of a super expensive super controller.
