But...but... the smart phones...


Proof that if you give consumers the right price they will bite.

lol... you needed proof of that?

and the too often used and rather ittitating  "but but" thing is, in this case, way off.

There is no doubt whatsoever that the smartphone market will diminish handheld sales.  I will bet you any amount of money you like the 3ds and Vita combined get nowhere near DS and PSP sales combined.

If people didn't post things that might irritate you nothing would ever get posted.

I deduce you're still unaware of the secret VGC conspiracy to piss kowenicki off, didn't any conspirator invite you to join it yet?

So, with a 33% price cut each 5 months, it should drop to $75-80 just after Xmas 2012... Very nice, at that price (and with a lot more games) it will be a bargain I won't be able to say no!

And before you know it,they will give 3DS's along with newspapers and magazines.

Whatever it takes to help keep the newspapers industry alive.

LOL, maybe newspapers are the secret Ninty market expansion plan! And how about easter eggs surprises?

now they need a new super mario bros 3ds game, and pokemon red and blue remakes, to sustain sales in the long run alongside mario kart.

Nobody ever invites me to the secret meetings.

This is unjust! I'll remedy, you're invited!

There is a conspiracy, but it's not a secret one.

Not anymore, anyhow... Sorry, my fault!
