How about DKCR 3D? When was that coming? End of this month?

It's out in just over a week. Already some reviews up: http://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/donkey-kong-country-returns-3d/critic-reviews

Not too shabby. It is for the 3DS though, so this is expected. Just another game to keep the momentum going. right Pezy old boy?

There is a negative momentum in NA currently, so I guess...not

Are you saying that more people in NA are returning their 3DS to cancel the original sale than new people buying it? How else could you achieve negative momentum?

I've always thought of "momentum" of a gaming device as sales rate accelerating, so now that sales rate is decelerating I would say the momentum is negative, indeed.

I see, you don't know what momentum means. Fair enough, what you want to say is: "3DS is losing momentum in NA"

I know what it means in science terms. Negative means it's negative for the system and Nintendo, as in: the momentum isn't there

I don't know why you're arguing over semantics though. The point still stands: that 3DS sales are falling and not rising

I am arguing over semantics because if you are going to go into a thread devoted to a Nintendo Direct only to be a wet blanket, the least you can do is make lexical sense.

You can pretend that you understand what momentum means and how to use it in the English language, but you are wrong. Negative momentum doesn't make any sense, it would imply that the number of total sold units is going down, as in the install base is contracting, but you still wouldn't call that negative momentum. So, the next time you want to come in and pee on a Nintendo parade, just keep that in mind.
