If you want to be competitive and play a game that isn't dumbed down you need a second analogue for many genres, like third person shooters or FPS, FPS especially.

Honestly i dont see 3DS getting alot of FPSs, the regular DS didnt and 3ds has already been on the market for year and ther isnt one in sight. FPS might be more of a Vita thing

DS and 3DS likely not got many because the controls so awful for them, with one analogue nub going back to N64 levels of control, by todays standards that is awful.  Revelations and MGS3 control far better with a CPP and those are both slow paced games, trying something more fast paced needs a second one as requirement.

I hear you man, but thats the point because of this we wont be seeing that many FPSs on 3DS so not having the 2nd nub doesnt really matter cause the library wont have the games that really benefit from it, at least not in large numbers
