meh.

mario this. lugi that. donkey kong, yoshi, kirby, and AC too. they might cover a lot of genres but the diversity in appeal is quite limited. third parties haven't really embraced the 3DS like they did the DS. the library is far from dire but if this is to be the "best gaming machine out there" it only serves to illustrate how doomed the gaming industry is.

So you don't like Nintendo IPs, and that's cool, but the marketplace disagrees that there isn't any diversity in appeal.  And saying the DS got more 3rd party support than the 3DS is just flat out wrong, specifically when you launch align them.  The DS could only dream of 3rd party support this stunning in it's first year and a half.  Hell, the DS didn't get its first AAA third party game until Final Fantasy III remake and that was 2 years after launch.

i like nintendo IP just fine, but i like a lot of other things too.  i don't see anywhere near the variety that DS had.    ..and the marketplace agrees with me.  don't get confused by 3DS winning the weekly sales charts.  the numbers show the 3DS in decline relative to the DS and the gap is growing faster each week.

again, 3DS's library is by no means dire.  but it's not something to aspire to either.


Sorry but 3DS is by far in a superior run then what the DS had, I had both at since their launches and it wasn't until the DS' 3rd year when things began to click into place for it even if we take into account games available at the time for all regions in the same time period. It's not even a case of defending the 3DS here at all it's library in the first 3 years with what's out and what's upcoming destroy the DS' library in it's first 3 years.
