Crazy that 3DS is getting another giant release four weeks after MH4 in Japan in September. No one can say Nintendo isn't trying! If this kind of 3DS activity can't net them at least a decent profit come next year, then the old tried-and-true Nintendo business model is truly broken. Iwata is right, though.

Everything ought to fall into place, assuming there is a large enough public appetite for the hardware and software. |
