Does Nobody Notice How Badly the 3DS Is Doing?

3DS was a bad decision by Nintendo, instead of wasting their time and effort on 3D they shoulc have focused on making a more powerful handheld and loading it up with really great games, they haven't done that, the lack of a really good 2D Mario is a clear failure by Nintendo (NSMB 2 was garbage)

 

Its not a lack of games, its a lack of good games that have killed the 3DS

 

Anyone who thinks smartphones are a danger to the 3DS just don't get it, people want good games, and Nintendo has not delivered this gen, on the 3DS and the Wii U, that is what has killed them.

this is all very subjective. Except smartphones that is having an effect, period.

Nope, just as computers and freeware games had no effect on consoles, neither do smartphones and cheap phone games have an effect on handhelds.

 

Lack of good games on the other hand will have an effect.  An underpowered and overpriced system with an unwanted feature such as 3D, will have an effect.

 

Also its far from objective, as we know a well desired game can totally ignite system sales, it was NSMB that really turned the DS into a world beater, NSMB 2 had no such effect on the 3DS.

 

DS had 19 games that sold 5 million or more, 3DS has 5 (in fact by this point in its life, sales wise, the DS had about 8 such games already, a few of those were over 10 million, 3DS only has 1)

so where did all those DS players go? are you really telling me they are waiting for good games? Because those good games did have followups on 3ds so it has to be something. Underpowered? compared to what? How much more powerful should it have been. 3d? ill give you that, but so what? if people dont like it they dont use it, i dont. There is even a sku without it.

oh come on man. NSMB was the first 2d mario game released in more than a decade. Versus NSMB2 which is the third in the NEW series which shouldnt even be having that NEW anymore. Nothing to do with the quality, maybe people are tired of what is essentially a rehash and not gonna spend money on a new piece of tech to play a game that is just as good as one they own.

Sales are fine. Quality isnt subjective. I think 3ds has a great library
