The 3D effect has helped, but without it, Nintendo would likely have been able to launch the system at $200 instead of $250, and we'd have the system for no more than $150 for a standard model by now. And although the 3D effect can make a game really work, more often than not a game can either forgo 3D or focus on an aspect that does not require it. Remember, the best selling game on the 3DS, Pokemon X/Y, can only use 3D some of the time.
Without the 3D effect, I think the 3DS would have had a better launch, but would have slowed down a bit around late 2011 before picking up speed again. It would today be at around 85% of IRL sales. |
The 3DS wouldn't have games like:
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Kingdom Hearts 3D
Resident Evil Mercenaries 3D
Resident evil Revelations
King of Pirates (trilogy)
Mega Man Legends 3 (canceled)
Paper Mario Sticker Star
Indie games like Jett Rocket 2 & Mutant Mudds & etc. etc. etc.
Dillon's rolling Western & Sakura Samurai & Ketzal's Corridors & the like wouldn't even exist.
Monster Hunter 4 (never coming to Wii U)
And many other exclusive titles. (but still not all of them)

Why we would not have those games if there was not 3D

They wouldn't even be inspired to even think up those games. And therefore would have never been imagine up in the first place.
Monster Hunter 4 would of still happen, but as a Wii U exclusive, instead of 3DS exclusive.
King of Pirates (trilogy) would have been a PlayStation Home Console exclusive instead of a 3DS exclusive.
Paper Mario would have continue as a Nintendo Home Console exclusive and wouldn't have try out any new original gameplay mechanics, and therefore would have never been about stickers anything as well.
The Japanese still get inspired to come up with things they couldn't have imagine before, when something is different and new enough to inspire anyone. But we westerners seem to have lost that ability almost entirely, which explains our movies.
