I know right..... This guy just somehow has to find a way to discredit everything about this device. I really don't understand him. If you say something bad about what he thinks is good and flawless, like the AI in RE, he retorts in full force saying how it is your fault and you just don't know how to use it. But when Nintendo makes actual inventive en clever use of there hardware or software he almost immediately thinks it's somehow stupid. When I imagine him I always see a really close minded guy, who above all is getting in the way of himself.

I'm just wondering how that's any different for anything that anyone would likely have on them. If I get mugged I'm likely to lose my wallet (so my money and any and all credit/debit cards, ID, etc), my watch, and anything electronic including my phone or whatever else I'm carrying. So saying that this is a stupid idea because someone might get mugged would be no different to saying it's a stupid idea to carry money because you might get mugged. But then how am I going to pay for anything?

Hell, lets just stay inside on the off chance there's a mugger lurking in every bush...

Being a realist doesn't entice seeking for flaws in a products company, being a realist doesn't entice looking over faults of the franchises you love.

I think you might really think you are a realist but seriously just look at the post you made in 3DS threads and compare them with the posts you made in NGP threads. Because if your posts are speaking the truth, than the 3DS must be utter shit and vice versa for the NGP.

In reality I don't even believe you think that (but maybe you do, you never know). You can't have only hate for one product and only praise for the other. I mean you literately posted that not being able to play your old PSP games on the NGP wasn't a real issue and people should stop whine about it (posting from memory here, I could be wrong). In this thread you make up some idiotique reason about it being bad to take your 3DS where ever you go because you could get mugged.

OK, let me get this straight.  This feature, which is designed to operate while the clam shell is closed and most likely in your pocket while you walk, is going to attract more muggings than usual?  As in it will generate more muggings than kids being in public and openly using their 3DS as a games machine...just like the Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, Game Gear, Nomad, PSP, DS, portable phone, etc...?

Do I have that right?  A feature used while the system is stored away will create an increase in muggings over the standard out in open use of the system...or any other portable system ever?

Kylie, just stop with the passive aggressive swings at Nintendo.  They are really getting old and blatantly obvious.  And your credibility as a veteran poster here drops every single time you utter one.

If you live in a neighbourhood where your children are at significant risk of being mugged for a relatively inexpensive gaming system you should really move ...

soooooo a digital item in a small gaming device is going to motivate more people to mug kids.....wha?

No. The small gaming device itself is rather expensive and thus it might motivate people to steal it.

Thank god I don't have problems like that here in Japan.

You just have to avoid walking in the tall grass right? :D

Once again Nintendo is employing a clever feature to help spread word of mouth about their newest system. Seriously, the coin system plus the streetpass system is an igenious way to keep systems on their users while also spreading word of mouth. Nintendo gets more system use and free advertising all for the price of games they would give out for free anyways. Nice one Big N!

fair enough. but i do beleive KylieDog's argument was that the coins (not the system itself) would motivate people to steal the system from small kids.

If that's the argument, that's stupid. (There's no other way to put it...)

But I'm pretty sure you misunderstood him. As I understand it he says that this system motivates people to take their 3DSs with them all the time. And if they do so, they might get mugged, because the item is rather expensive.
