So do you believe it would have sold significantly less if it didnt have 3D?

The real question here is, what in the world makes you think it would have sold more without the 3D? No iterative update Nintendo has ever released sold better than its predecessor. I do not think 3DS would have sold much better without 3D. It was not as good a product as DS with or without 3D. 

I didnt say it would.

He said, "anyone that thinks that the 3DS sold 70+ millions "in spite" of its 3D has no idea what  he's talking about."

 

To me that implies that 3D was a major selling point of 3DS and sales would have been much lower without it hence why i asked him that question.
