One thing in the Vita's favor in the 3DS doesn't seem to have a powerful lineup for the rest of the year.


Well, it has Pokemon... even if it is for DS.  That and Mario is all it needs. 


Will Pokemon push many systems though? Won't almost everybody who's into Pokemon already have a DS/3DS?

And will Paper Mario? The "Sticker Star" subtitle does have the whiff of a gimmicky/childish approach that might put off some gamers, and again, won't Mario fans already be buying the system for 3D Land and NSMB2?


Everyone who likes Pokemon certainly won't own a 3DS as there's been no Pokemon released specifically for that system yet.  And judging from the spike in DS/3DS sales when Black2/White2 was released, no, everybody who likes Pokemon don't already have a DS either.

Paper Mario has a huge cult following.  I don't think there's anything gimmicky/childish about it all, you're just trolling.  Besides, Paper Mario isn't a system mover at all, it's there to please fans of the series and will sell quite nicely. 

Bottom line:  3DS will have no problem this holiday and Mario and Pokemon will really push sales.  The 3DS will be fine.  It's the Vita you need to be worried about.
