Dude, it's the successor to the DS where games like Nintendogs are the best selling ones.

Except for those types of games have not done that great on the 3DS, and it is on pace with the DS in sales pretty much right now.

We are not getting a thousand Style games and doctor games and whatever else. It is not a casual system.

The 3DS peaked earlier because of the price cut and XL. It won't reach the heights of the DS. You still have the Mario and Luigi games. Those are casual games.

oh dear........

these forums are turning into the n4g comment section

Interesting username and avatar you have there...

When talking redesign I'm talking a DS -> DS Lite kind of redesign.

What did the first mainline pokemon do for the DS?

Diamond and Pearl sold over 18 million.

Haha... assuming the PS4 is gonna be a sucess of the size of PS2 already?

The market changed alot. The Wii U has an advantage on it in the market and Microsoft is gonna launch their console at the same time. While i expect the PS4 to lead the market due to the undermining that was done to the Wii U by engine developers, it most certainly wont achieve the same level of sucess the PS2 did. The PS2 had a time advatage over the gamecube and the Xbox and was riding the wave over the sucess of the PS1. Also, the graphical improvements were very noticeable.

Lol, I came from a link in another thread to find this. Casual system... I'm playing on the DS lite now. I am not a casual gamer. Hilarious.
