Does Nobody Notice How Badly the 3DS Is Doing?

The NO GAMES argument is stupid at this point in the life cycle of the 3DS. It has plenty of games. After all why does it need NEW games? It is not like new gamers are suddenly go OH it has games coming out this year I will buy one. They will go to a shop and see that the 3DS has 30-40 games worth playing.

It is time to admit it smartphone and tablets are a huge problem to handhelds.

So, if there hadn't been released more games for PS3 after Uncharted 2 (2009), does the console would still have been able to sell more than 80 million units? According to VGChartz by 2009 PS3 had sold around 32 million units.

Releasing new games for a console in (and after) its third year of life DOES MATTER.

The DS went through plenty of stretches where Nintendo focused more on the Wii, especially after 2008. It's simply unrealistic to ask Nintendo to constantly make new 3DS software all the time and expect the same for the Wii U (weren't Nintendo fans complaining that Nintendo was making too much 3DS software last year and not enough for the Wii U? lol). Damned if you, damned if you don't I guess. 

If Pokemon X/Y, NSMB2, Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Brain Training, Zelda: ALBW, Bravely Default, Zelda: Oot 3D, Nintendogs + cats, Kid Icarus Uprising, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy Theaterhythm, Pushmo, DKC Returns, Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi, Pilotwings, Kingdom Hearts, Tales of Symphonia, Super Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil Revelations, Star Fox 64 3D, Monster Hunter 3G, Art Academy, Sonic, Tomodachi Collection, Shin Megami Tensei, Professor Layton, etc. are not enough to get you to part with $130 for a 2DS at least ... honestly, you just don't want what Nintendo's offering. A few niche Japanese titles ported over here aren't changing a damn thing.
