None of that is innovative at all. Its progression. Natural progression. Sony had good ideas with the touch screen and added in back track pad. And two analogs? What the hell? Innovative? The PSP had a claw man. they literally added a stick. The craft design was craft

I cant seriously be reading Graphics as an upgrade. Fuck it  glasses free 3D is  just as much of an "innovation" in that sense I mean 3D is a graphics enhancer.

Im not even making the point that the 3DS overall design motive( staying with clamshell, but motivated by the increasing lurch by smartphones on the industry. Basically it evovled off their ideas for streetpass and various other feature sets that spear headed the design for it) but what is coming out of you is absolutely ludicrous.  The 3DS's hardware design isnt a safe bet. Thats for sure, Nintendo did a lot of stuff that could have severely backfired with the 3DS. But they got over that by bringing a first party line up of games that shits on the original DS's output quality wise.

Nintendo's absolutely brilliant when it comes to utilizing their ideas they get for software to make new types of hardware. The 3DS shows this in the internals with the streetpass/free to play games on it, the N64 showed this, the Wii showed this, the WiiU may show it eventually(but in the end that was made more as a response to how the third parties felt with the Wii)

I never said the Vita itself was innovative, i said it was a bigger change from the PSP than the 3DS was from the DS. I put "" marks around the word innovation for a reason :P

Anyway, you say i'm spouting rubbish but have yet to actually name me a single thing about the 3DS's hardware that could have "severely backfired" ^^ As i said, take away the lackluster 3D and upgraded graphics and you are left with a DS that has an analog stick. I hardly call that taking a risk.


The price. Going for $249 was a huge risk for Nintendo and it almost killed the system.


Not just the price, the system's innards, its quite different form what else is on the market. Very quirky device,like the WiiU its designed in a way that requires you to tap into the device to get the most outta it. Except its pretty different from the WiiU.

Nothing like the Xbox One and its esramn though. That's giving people a headache
