That article is so trollish that I literally have nothing to say but this useless and unproductive sentence.


Look at it. We have Mario. That is it, and we are hoping for a few more games that are worth buying in the West before years end. This thing at this point is about on par with the DS and we have no games coming? I walk by the 3DS stand a dozen times a night at Walmart while working and I always hope to see something new, something different. Recently I have seen more Wii games that are new than 3DS games. The XL and Mario effect are already starting to subside as the system is leveling out again. The 360 even managed to pop ahead of it again this week without any big game releases at all. Japanese games are what is selling on the system. Monster Hunter is on its way again and the West really does not care too much.

 

So what is useless about the article again? When everything is pretty much right. :)

It failed to take into consideration the way Nintendo brand works and how well they can time/market their products compared to SONY, one of SONY's big problems is that they have been really really bad at marketing their products on top of ridiculous requirements and prices. Also still backwards compatible with DS games so it becomes the question of how much money people want to shell out for the 3DS vs the DS. Once the DS gets phased out completely, the sales will also change.
