You sure it's mainly because of those games and not because it's holiday time and pokemon b/w2 releasing in earlier that year? At that time, there's no way ppl would prefer nds over 3ds when 3ds was only 50$ more expensive (after price cut) and future proof (and could play any ds game).

point is BC alone was not enough to sell 3ds. Heck even iwata himself admitted that 3ds launch sale was disappointing. I agree 3ds has great library, but it started to become good years after 3ds release date. Now back to switch, it repeats all the mistake that 3ds made: high price, weak hardware, joke battery life, joke memory size, okayish launch titles, and this time it's even worse: no BC.

 

and what does unified library even mean to me as a customer? this guarantees nothing. I mean, just look at Switch launch titles. Social media was also hugely positive abt Clinton, but we all knw the election didnt agree with social media.

Pokemon B/W2 released in Q4 2012 almost 2 years after  the launch of the 3DS and a year after the games I mentioned turned things around, even MH3U released with the games I mentioned a year prior to B/W2 :? 

3DS' library became good late 2011 and early 2012 with 3DL, MK7, MH3U, Kingdom Hearts 3D etc... This is around 10 months in not years later.

Unified library means as a consumer you don't need to buy 2 Nintendo platforms like you did before to enjoy the full library, everything is on one platform only no matter the game whether Pokemon or Zelda. You're mistaking the news for social media, actual social media had Trump and Clinton supportors battling back and fourth.

Until we get the actual games, that really means nothing. No animal crossing, no bayonetta, no monster hunter, no fire emblem, no layton, no ace attourney. This whole unified library is just customer wishful thinking. Beside the new mario game, what we get now is a wiiu port and bunch of wiiu reskin games. I expect at least some 3ds series on switch if unified library is really what you are talking about
