The entire market seems to be that way.

In April we only had 3 3D movies:

Jurassic Park 3D

Storm Surfers 3D

Tai Chi Hero 3D

All of them live action.

But in May we got like 5 or so 3D Movies.

In October we got 4 or 5 3D movies in the first week, plus the other 3D Movies of October on different weeks. Also when we get a lot of good games like Batman Arkham Origins 1 (PS3/360/Wii U) & 2 (3DS & Vita) & Pokémon X & Y (3DS) & who knows what other video games in October.

It all seems to be all marketing to work around people's budget. This seems to ensure that us consumers will have money when they release the big guns LOL.

I disagree. Just because some other platforms have "peaked" at the two-year-old mark and then stayed there for a year or two before winding back down, does not mean that every subsequent platform has to follow the same pattern. The 3DS started slow, we can all admit that, and yes it's been trailing in NA and EU in comparison to Japan, but that doesn't mean it will stay that way. 3DS has notably picked up in the past few months with some more solid-to-great-selling releases in Fire Emblem, Luigi's Mansion, and Lego City. This month it has Donkey Kong, next month Animal Crossing, later this summer another Mario RPG, and then the BIG GUNS come out this holiday. If you think 3DS won't be holding it's own against all the BIG BOYS this coming holiday when it has the FIRST 3D Pokemon games in X/Y AND a 2D Zelda game coming in October/November, you're kidding yourself. Contrary to popular opinion, Pokemon, moreso than Mario, is the system seller for Nintendo's handhelds. 

Wii U is a different story. They've lost a lot of ground in the console market since the peak years of the Wii absolutely. But I still firmly believe with the right games the Wii U can be a moderate success for Nintendo. When I say "moderate," I mean N64 level sales or greater. At this point, people need to just realize and accept that Nintendo is NOT directly competing with Microsoft and Sony. The last time they did was the Gamecube, their lowest-selling home console. With the Wii they made a deliberate change in direction to court a different market. It worked. Now, however, that market has moved on to tablets and other things. Nintendo now has to focus on "gamers" again...and despite techies and the "hardcorez" saying that nobody is interested in Nintendo's style of software, it's simply not true. Give the Wii U this next holiday before we make any more "Doomed" threads. Let 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, Retro's Game, TW101, and the rest have a chance to change the momentum. I truly believe they will. 

nintendo needs to do something with the wiiu get more games and price drop

You know you could say Sony lost NA too.

NA is pretty much Xbox territory at this point.

But the majority of Americans do love 3D. And almost eveyone in foreign countries love 3D.

Just because 10% to 20% of Americans make their voices heard the loudest, doesn't mean they are the majority. They are just louder then 80% to 90% of Americans are.

Sales of 3D TVs vs. sales of HD TVs during same point in life spam speak for themselves.

Sales of 3D 3DS vs. sales of people thinking the PS Vita does HD speaks for itself.

Sales of 3D movies during the same year as 2D movies speak for themselves, since the ratio is against them, but still get such great sales despite the alarming ratio against 3D movies during the same year amongst 2D Movies.

To see things as solid as they feel means more to the majority of consumers in the world then 10% of people in society realize.

HD had never meant anything to consumers. But 3D has meant a lot, as the market shows us each and every time with TVs & Movies & video game systems.

Sales speak for themselves, and no one has ever cared about HD, at least not to more then up to 10% of consumers.

Star Trek Into Darkness is my example of 3D movies, if you want to know what people see in 3D.

Less & less movies are made in 2D and more & more movies are release in 3D. The 3DS gets all the 3rd Party support and also all the 1st Party support. The only thing HD has got is Resident Evil 6 & Final Fantasy 13, I would rather play such new games as Kingdom Hearts 3D & Resident Evil Revelations.

That doesn't explain Nintendo's 3D system doing so good in NA.

It seems that America belongs to Mcrosoft & Nintendo, while Euroasia belongs to Sony & Nintendo and Japan just belongs to Nintendo, while Australia just seems to belong to Sony & Nintendo.

But I'm looking at the present.

So many things wrong with what you're saying.

1. 3DS is up YoY in North America by roughly 35% so far. It's selling fine here, and with games like Animal Crossing and Pokemon, and maybe a decent 3DS XL colour (Europe and Japan get better colours), 3DS sales could be as much as 50% higher in 2013 in North America as they were last year.

2. Many Analysts expect 8th gen systems to start really slow since this gen lasted longer then normal. Wii U sales will pick up with software releases.

3. Activision is the largest NA publisher, and Nintendo has lots of support from Activision. As for EA, no one likes EA.

4. There is a strong rumor that Retro Studios is developing their own "Western" IP.

5. Have the Wii Fit/Sports craze's wore off? Last Wii Fit and Wii Sports game released sold well, and there is nothing available for Wii U. I bet you once the next main Wii line game releases for Wii U, sales will explode again.

6. Shadow of the Eternals (aka Eternal Darkness 2) is a Wii U/PC exclusive, developed by a Western Studio. As for Rare...lol Rare....none of their exclusives ever sold that well, and DKC by Retro Studios was just as successful as older Rare games.

So, since basically everything you said is wrong or debatable, why would Nintendo be in trouble? Wii U might be having a slow start, but Wii U also set a record for the longest video game drought (4 months). Wii U sales will pick up with software, and even if it doesn't do as well as Wii U, it wil do much much better then N64/GCN/SNES/NES.

I always go see the IMAX version when there is one for the 3D movie.

The Great Gatsby looks good on smaller size theater screen because there was no IMAX size to format the 3D effect for.

Star Trek 2 3D will look good on any size theater screen.

Plus the 3D movies shown in theaters have their 3D images reformatted before release on 60 fps DVDs & streaming (VuDu, and others coming soon like Hulu Plus).

I do blame lazy formatters for only formatting the 2 images for the IMAX size screen for the theaters, but hopefully they will start formatting a 200+ inch size and a 500+ inch size as well for when there is a IMAX size they are formatting for.

The 3DS depends on individual game, plus you need the depth slider all the way up, and sometimes turn it slightly down if the 3D gets reduce when you put the depth slider all the way up, which happens to me on certain firmwares.

The newer the 3DS game is, the better the 3D effect is (i.e. February 2012 & November 2012 & March 2013 & let's wait til October 2013 to see how much greater it becomes).

So the 3D effect in the 3DS depends on the game, which gets better with newer games, as November 2012 & up is really showing us.

Where exactly are you getting that figure?  The 3DS was down in January and February, and only up slightly in March.  Don't think we have gotten concrete April numbers, but at best it is up a few percent.  Most likely it is down.  Even the overtracked VGC numbers show that it is down YoY.  Now granted this is all US sales, but I don't think it is mathematically possible to be down in the US and up 35% in North America.

Shipments in the first quarter of the year were also down 44% YoY.

Setting records for droughts isn't exactly promising for the future of the platform.  That's the same thing that killed the Wii, and that system had the advantage of not needing HD development.  The NES did 34 million in the Americas and you think the Wii U will do "much better"?

There are so many things wrong with ur post. Where r u getting the 80-90% from? Alot of people dont like 3D for a few reasons 1. It gives them headaches, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision 2. They cant justify the extra price of movie tickets 3. Majority of movies/games dont do anything meaninful for 3D to actually add to the experience.

Also do u have any proof 3D TVs sell at a faster pace than HDTVs?

Ur claim about 3DS vs Vita is rediculous, 3DS sells alot better because its game library and price, not because people like 3D over HD
