IMHO, i dont think this is going to help. If someone wasnt interested in 3ds before extra ram and some ports of Wii games isnt going to change their mind. Especially with a handheld as that kind of stuff has NEVER been important before. I dont really know who Nintendo is trying to sell this too. Casuals who werent interested arent going to care all of a sudden, core gamers who have one already arent probably going to double dip. Hardcore ninty fans MIGHT buy this, but IMO i think Ninty is pushing the limit on this. You have to buy another version of something you already have to play the full library, its screwed either way, if they make a bunch of NEW 3ds games people are going to feel gyped. If they make a few then they are going ot wonder what the point was. |
It has two things. One: It's to boost sales. Another 3 million helps Nintendo, like the 2DS. Two: the people that buy every version of Nintendo products.
|
one: boost sales? isnt the 3ds down YOY? this is going to help? I doubt that very much two: that number isnt as big as some people hope it is. and what kind of message is that to send anyway?
|
It does boosts sales. Even if it's small. People send that message to companies. That's why they do it. It's the same thing were people complain about bad DLC deals. They exsist because enough people don't care they're bad and still get them.
|
you mean how the 2ds boosted sales? wait...
|
Every revision gets those extra sales. They always get less each time. But to the company's POV, that's irrelavant. For us, the DS Lite is the best selling version of the DS. While the others did crap compared to it. But to Nintendo, that's 153 million in total sold. Weather new people, and overlaped by OCD buyers.
|
but how do we know people wouldnt have bought it even WITHOUT the revision. my thing is if a person didnt want a 3ds i dont see anything in this version that is really going to change there minds. And if you are a Ninty fan you already have it and how much are going to double or triple dip and for how long?
|
That really depends on the person. But they do get the extra sales by the OCD people. Ofcourse it's not a lot. I agree with you on that. And I also think this is stupid, with possible future hardware that can go wrong with this mind set. If they keep doing this. But that's still that one extra 3DS sold to the same person. Who knows actually why Nintendo does what they do, honestly. Maybe they're OCD themselves and must make 4 revisions on every system they make.
|
I have to wonder if that extra sale from OCD people is enought to offset the cost of the newer hardware. maybe it is maybe it isnt, i hope its the former for their sake. i never had an issue with the number of revisions that what Ninty does with their handhelds. My issue is with the SPEED of the revisions, IMHO it smacks of desperation. I dont know any other gaming system that has done it this much with this speed, none that were successful anyway.
