I'm not saying that Nintendo is being dirty. I'm saying that Sony and MS never released a new version of a console that would run games that the older versions wouldn't. Let's say I've bought a 3DS two weeks ago. Now, there is a new model that will have access to 3DS games that my newly acquired 3DS can't run.

PSP Go wasn't capable of running any game that the normal PSP could. Actually, it couldn't run games that were released only in physical media. PS Vita TV can't run any game that the normal Vita can't. Actually, it can't run game based on touch and some other features. I have a Vita and when vita TV launched I knew that my now almost 2 year old device can run any games that Vita TV can and more. In these two cases, the new model is actually limited compared to the older one.

Cant disagree with especially recent 3ds purchases. But i will say this...

Which is worse?     3DS ⇒ N3DS      OR       GBA ⇒ DS 

Both had about the same time (around 4 years) but GBA went straight into another gen while N3DS is in the same gen as a new revision. Difference? DS 100% stop GBA games (meaning support) and only DS Games can be played on the DS.

As for the N3DS, 3DS is still getting supported, just with an exclusive (wii port) and maybe 3-5 games down the line exclusive games. Thats it. 

Is it unfair? Yes it is, but thats how alot of things go anyway and besides we dont kno wat games (if any others) are going to be exclusive. I doubt Nintendo will ignore 45mil right away, we'll see though soon enough!!!

 

As for the Sony comparisons, yes it is different, dont get me wrong. I just meant its not fair for those wanting a new model that cant play some/all of their already purchased software.

1. why does it matter which one is worse? just because one is less crappy does not mean the other isnt crappy, what kind of logic is that?

2. to answer your question. Im going say that this situation is actually a little bit worse. Look you either release a new console or you dont. This half ass faux new console thing is weird. They want there cake and they want to eat it too, thats not how it works. didnt really work for Sega when they were despearatly trying to prolong the life of Genesis. its just them really trying to keep the interest in 3ds up artificially.
