It's remarkable that we're even having this conversation. The 3DS is clearly a hugely popular system. So much for the "smartphones killing dedicated gaming devices" canard :)


It still kinda is. Most people I know that used to own a DS 5 years ago own a smartphone now. I don't know if they're just waiting on Pokemon or they just don't care. Japan is saving the 3DS, the western territories have yet to accept it.

Pokemon really has to be huge this time.

Well, North American and European consumers are buying plenty of 3DS systems. The Japanese numbers are huge, but the other numbers are nothing to sneeze at.

Also we have to remember that DS was a monumental success. It will probably end up as the best selling video game system of all time. So if 3DS can keep pace with it, that's remarkable.
