The 3DS' 3D feature was a good move

I think the main issue was that $250 price tag during launch which after they did that huge price cut in the same year lead to a loss per unit... Anytime Nintendo or any other company releases a new hardware, it gets media attention anyway but the main reason as to why the 3ds is winning so much is cause of its games that is targeted towards a broad audience as well as a consistent first party support.

I think a good library of games is more or less for keeping the sales up. At launch there aren't many games and you'll have to convince people with the hardware itself. That's how I see it anyway.

I do have to wonder if Nintendo over-reacted with the price cut. Cause they basically slashed the price by $100 which might have been too rash? Maybe if they did it by $50 or no price cut at all and just bring on the games, they could have sold the console for $200-$250 but I wonder if it still would have sold 40 million units just based on the games library alone
