I want everyone to thank EA for improving the 3DS library and sales

It is interesting that a good reason the 3DS is successful is because of japanese companies, and the only country that is up on hardware is japan. I recall some PR guy saying earlier that japanese companies are bringing the industry down...

They are bringing the industry down by continuing to support the "dead" handheld market, and refusing to embrace the future of mobile platforms. Some Japanese publishers, like Capcom and Square Enix, have seen the light and begun moving their high-profile franchises to iOS, including Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and The World Ends With You. But the Japanese side of the industry will not truly be great again until they entirely stop developing for doomed handheld platforms such as the 3DS and move all of their projects to iOS.

 

/sarcasm

The "PR guy" you're thinking of may be Phil Fish, the creator of Fez, or Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man.

Yeah it was Phil Fish, this guy is crazy. Not only did he have that statement he also decided to stop supporting his game...
