| Conina said: Sure the 3DS can last for a few years... besides the NX handheld. Especially if the NX-handheld ain't backwards compatible to 3DS. The lack of exclusive announcements for the New 3DS speaks volumes, even Xenoblade Chonicles is now available on Wii U. Why aren't they pushing the new 3DS model with some exclusives? Probably because the preparations for the NX-launch are much more important than broadening the New3DS-hardware-base. |
As the new 3DS was announced many people with ... let's say not so friendly feelings about Nintendo claimed, that 3DS-owners now are fucked as any new software is released for new 3DS now. More reasonable people said, that N3DS-software not runnign on 3DS would be the exception. Look how it turned out. And if you're wondering how that can happen, look at the DSi, that as the N3DS had more processing power. How many exclusive games besides the downloads the DSi had? Five? Maybe ten? Why on earth people even believed there would be significant software-release N3DS-only. The reality lies in the frame of expectation, with or without NX.
You say no significant releases for N3Ds are announced, and from that you conclude the NX will replace it. But you omit, that there are a lot of significant releases for 3DS (that also run on N3DS) are announced. That somehow hurts your theory.
