I'm sorry but this just really shows how out of touch the fanbase here is, that anyone thought the 3DS could top the DS' 2006 is laughable. It's not even *close*.

People buy way too much into the "wait for Pokemon! wait for Mario!" kool-aid and pay no attention to overall brand momenteum.

In general too on these boards (and other gaming fanboards) there's a deep rooted sense of denial over how important things like Brain Training was to the DS and Wii Sports was to the Wii and how that audience has moved away to other devices and Mario/Pokemon aren't replacing that audience because the DS/Wii had those as well.

People definitely got carried away with the poll. That the "absolutely" option got the most votes... clearly they did not understand how big the DS was in 2006.

I made the thread, and I'm pretty sure I voted maybe, possibly even no. It was a long time ago though, and it was obvious by the end of April that the 3DS had no chance.

It has some big games coming, though, so it will still have a banner year.
