man the news couldn't get any worse for Nintendo

This isn't really bad news. A 3DS in the hands of a gamer is still better than a 3DS sitting in a store.

but a new one is better for Nintendo.

your a strange one Rol and confusing 

Hardware isn't like software, used game console sales is almost as good as new ones, hell it's just as good if it's selling at cost and better if it's selling at a loss. Though the fact that the console was sold to store in the first place isn't good.

*agrees with Rol*
Of course it's good news if a used system gets sold! Why do you think so many companies sold their console at a loss? They plan to make their in games sales.

Well yes, a new 3DS being sold would be better than a used one being sold, but what's important here is that inactive units became active units again which matters for software sales.

good point

likely

i also read ROL's quote so i may get it now



how is it worse for nintendo? its great cause now not only does a 3ds get bout once but twice? its  a win cause of the future games they will sell for the system. i think its more bad for sony the nintendo cause now more people will have a 3ds in their hands then there will be people lining up to buy a ps vita.
