| Panama said: Parents will pick up a 3DS for their kids as its much cheaper and has the Marios and Pokemanz in 3D. It's as though Sony have been in a coma for 7 years and didn't take note of DS sales trends. I can't really imagine what can classify as a 'killer' title. Popularity is the name of the game though and if Uncharted could do 500k then I imagine AC and CoD could do the same if not more. LBP and P4G will probably be those games with long legs and won't sell a lot initially. But I've already just mentioned 4 big exclusive titles in the next few months along with a slew of unmentioned niche exclusives for this year also. Shortage of games is far from the problem, they've permanently gimped Vita sales now due to the price and the 3DS' install base that resulted because of said price. |
From my experience from talking to parents in my office who hapily brought ds and wii's for their kids they will not buy the 3DS due to the 3D effect they don't think it is good for them and will give them headaches. And the following Nintendo warning did not help this:
"Nintendo also says that children under six shouldn't use the 3D mode at all, since their eyes are still developing, and that parents can use controls built into the 3DS to lock it into 2D mode for children."
I think most adverts now carry this warning.
