| MDMAlliance said: People claiming the New 3DS is a new console... the freaking system releases in two days and only has one "exclusive." If we were to count this as a totally separate system and part of a new generation, it would be an extremely short generation with literally only a handful of exclusives for the entirety of its life. The New 3DS sales are LITERALLY hanging onto the fact that the 3DS games are still coming out. Why? Because it's a 3DS remodel, not a new system. If it were a new system, it would have more exclusives and it would have been announced in a more grandiose manner. In the end, the New 3DS owners are mostly going to be playing regular 3DS games. People saying that the GBA jump is pretty similar, it isn't. The GBA had its own games that you can attribute to it. The only game we know about for the New 3DS is a port, and the system is literally just about to release in Japan. Oh, and another thing you guys are missing is the fact that the New 3DS is still running on the 3DS OS... how is it NOT a 3DS? |
When the N64 launched there were only two exclusives.
Nintendo usually drops support at the drop of a hat as soon as they launch a new console, but with the New 3DS being backwards compatible, why drop support? Sucker people into buying the old console, then when they realize that the game they want doesn't work and they'll need the new one, they'll have to buy that one too.
There was barely any GBA support after the release of the DS. That didn't stop Nintendo from continuing to sell the GBA. That didn't stop them from releasing the GBA Micro either. Maybe some suckers will buy a new version of a console that's no longer being supported. Or not. The Micro bombed.
