Who cares? How about DS owners? Why should they buy a 3DS when the games they liked don't get sequels. My god, sequels are the single most important thing to bring your previous audience over to the new system. And you say "who cares". I think you were actually being serious about Metroid Prime Hunters being a stellar title.

You don't have to search that post, because I know what I said. The thing is that it doesn't matter what I think about those sales numbers when third parties choose to ignore them. They don't trust the Wii U. What's most likely going to happen is that the first batch of Wii U games will be mostly late ports whose sales numbers will be used to decide over future support. Just like the Wii, the Wii U will be put in a situation where Nintendo just can't win. And if for some unforeseen reason those late ports put up respectable sales numbers, then they will get ignored in the same way as Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition.

Yeah, I handed that one to him on a silver platter. :(

Given what I said, now what counter-arguments do you actually have, the ones you gave were bad, I showed you why. Give me good ones for a change.

Battery -> Bad excuse. Expect Remodel.
DS Successors -> Too early to tell, and some already released
All games feature 3D display -> For now. And it's only piggy-backing on the point I had brought up prior.

  Too much talking but at the end, we could expect two or three games maybe... I have my hopes in level5 and marvelous and thats it...

I just hope nintendo learned from the 3ds' launch... Dont trust third parties, just make your games, zelda, mario, DK, metroid, pikmin, star fox, fzero, eternal darkness, kirby, starfy, Fire emblem, TLS, xenoblade, earthbound, baten kaidos, sin & punishment, geist, Brain Age, ice Climber, wave Race, advance Wars,  animal crossing,  custom Robo, golden sun, kid icarus, nintendogs, punch-out, wario land, yoshi story, pokemon... Can anyone tell me again why nintendo needs third party games?...

He's going from a market perspective. I don't even know if he likes those games or not, but one thing I know is that for now he's arguing from a business point of view, not a fan point of view.

He's saying that if 3DS doesn't follow the pattern of DS offerings (i.e. 2D platformers, non-game games, brain games, art games, horse games, dog games, lottery games and everything you can turn into a game), then it won't be a success.

I don't disagree with him, I just disagreed with the fact that he required these to be sequels. Nobody needed those games when the DS game out, yet they bought the thing, I don't see it being any different this time. Then again, I wouldn't encourage it as it would be a tougher challenge then just continuing past series. However, I don't think that purely will work either, as people tend to get sick of the old and look for the new. (That's probably why Nintendogs + Cats didn't sell so well, at least not as well as its predecessor). A good mix will be good, and Nintendo will brand the 3DS as for both casual and core, they've already started doing so, they will continue that trend. Maybe they aren't doing it perfectly just yet, but they will succeed, I have no doubt. Same goes for the Wii U.
