I think so too.  Khuutra is one of my favs - he made my kickass avatar.  Since he agrees with Rol, I guess that'd make Rol one of my favs too?

so do you think that after the first month of tech heads and Nintendo loyalists and people that are generally exited about games like Nintendogs and Layton etc won't sell the system out for the first two months, there won 't be enough killer apps to maintain momentum?

Additionally, here's the Japan launches for the Wii and DS.

Wii:

Week 1: Twilight Princess, Wii Sports, Warioware, Wii Play

Within half a year: Super Paper Mario, Excite Truck, Brain Academy Wii Degree, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn

DS:

Week 1:  Super Mario 64, Warioware, Pokemon Dash, Band Brothers,

Within half a year: Yoshi Touch & Go, Touch Kirby, Brain Training, Nintendogs

Neither had very strong lineup from scratch at all.  The 3DS looks to have something along the lines of

3DS:

Week 1: Nintendogs 2, Professor Layton,

Within half a year:  Ocarina of Time, Pilot Wings, Steel Diver, Runabout for Nintendo 3DS, Grand Strategy 3DS

Note that in Japan, Layton is about the same size as portable Zeldas, both just slightly smaller than Super Mario 64 was.

The 3DS definitely has a stronger launch from Nintendo than the DS or Wii did.

Hi Oyvovyoyv! You had the cutest Kirby avatar!

While 3DS has a stronger launch over Wii and DS,  Twilight Princess was still indeed a killer app.

I'm not sure it was in Japan, actually. It actually sold less than the Warioware title it released together with, and just barely more than Super Paper Mario which released a bit later on it.

Zelda isn't that big anymore in Japan. Twilight Princess is the 20th best selling game on the Wii, and the DS ones are #38 and #49. That said, I think Nintendo expected Twilight Princess to be a killer app, Wind Waker was the 5th best selling game on the GC in Japan.

Zelda is pretty much the only Nintendo series to have decreased in Japan (well, Zelda increased slightly from GBA to DS, but far less than everything else). Even the two Super Mario Galaxies, which both saw quite disappointing sales in Japan, increased over Super Mario Sunshine, although by very little.

Japan isn't that interested in Zeldas and 3D Marios anymore. Combined, the two Super Mario Galaxies, and Twilight Princess are lower than NSMB Wii, Mario Kart Wii, and nearly Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Heck, Super Mario Galaxy was nicely outsold by Mario Party 8.

One might think that Ocarina of Time is the most important title on the 3DS, but Nintendogs, and probably Layton, are both going to outsell it. I doubt OoT 3DS will make a million, whereas Nintendogs has a slight shot at 2 million.

Are you talking about lifetime or otherwise?

As for the rest of your post, well spoken and I agree.

Well, the DS one was even worse with Super Mario 64 DS which is not a killer app. But that's doesn't mean that the 3DS is good too. I barely care for any of the titles announced for the entire lineup, give me a decent 2D decent platformer and I'm sold.

Nintendo is getting much smarter with how they space out their new releases.  They probably have learned from all the dead spots in the Wii's schedule over the last 4-5 years.  Plus, Nintendo doesn't have to work as hard with all these good 3rd party games getting released. 

The only thing that concerns me is the price on these games.  If top games really are going to retail for $40 on the 3DS, I probably won't buy that many at release.  I rarely ever even pay $40 for HD-console gaming.  Also, 3rd parties are going to get pissed if some of their top dog IPs don't sell well on the 3DS.  With the crowded schedule of games being launched, there are certainly going to be good 3rd party games that sell under-expectation.  Nintendo has a delicate balance in maintaining 3rd party relations.  They haven't had to deal with these kind of issues since Super-Nintendo.

nintendogs plus cats is power enough, don't forget its predecessor is a million seller even just in japan
