Well. The 3DS is getting a new Fire Emblem game next year. So Nintendo obviously has a few more surprises in store. Other than that, there's no doubt that the 3DS will have a shorter life span than the DS. The DS lasted so long and got so many great games because it had zero competition. The closest competition it had was the PSP and Sony more or less gave up on the PSP after 2006. After that, the DS had the handheld market to itself. The mobile market (at least as we know it) was non-existent. The 3DS lives in a world with a million different ways to play games on the go. That leaves mostly Nintendo and a handful of Japanese developers to support the system.
So if you're somebody who has a 3DS and buys the newest big game when it comes out, it's understandable why you'd feel disappointed. For those of you who do not own a 3DS, you are doing yourself a disservice as a gamer.
