past performance does not guarentee future success. 3DS already had 1 emergency price cut. 3DSs second calendar year barelly was up YoY despite have a 3 extra months on the market. the games library is significantly smaller then the kind of support the DS had. Games cost between 4 to infinatly times more than the games on competitive devices. ..i don't care how good pokemon or mario is. that market can and likely will disappear. 3DS will survive. but if nintendo (and everyone else for that matter) don't adapt to the changing market then they'll be about as relavent as a stage coach repair shop after the introduction of cars. |
Hard to argue against you :P
But I think Nintendo has already begun the transition. The 3DS-eshop is growing bigger and bigger with many pretty cheap and yet VERY good digital games. And even if you don't care how good Mario or Zelda are, many millions of people DO care and are willed to pay the full retail price. Nintendo has been in the market longer than anybody else, I'm faithful they'll manage to be able to sell us handhelds in the future. As long as they stay innovative they have a very good chance.
