The Wii got the same treatment.

And we all know how both turned out.

More recently we had the 3DS vs. Vita, with a lot of praise for the Vita to stomp the 3DS.

Actually even more recently we had the Wii U would be the all mighty console that destroyed everyone...

They were just a little wrong. Just a little.

I was one of them too. I bought a PSP instead. Some odd number of months later, I took my PSP and games into Gamestop, plopped them down on the counter and said "I'd like to trade this all in for a DS and a copy of Meteos and Canvas Curse." The Gamestop employee looked at my PSP, turned it on and said "Really? But this thing's screen is so amazing." To which I replied "Yeah, just like the Game Gear."

I LOVE IT!!

Can anybody taste how much crow that employee was served? Yummm.

I'll admit, I was one of the people who thought the DS was stupid and wouldn't catch on. I never did like it much, to be honest. The 3DS looks FAR more attractive to me now than the DS ever did.



Have some time to kill? Read my shitty games blog. http://www.pixlbit.com/blogs/586/gigantor21

See, I feel ps4 is a lot more apt since this reaction thread was to the announcement, ie; the ds was not out yet - that alone is more similar than the wiiU which is already out. :D

I think that was my fault :-/. The italics right? Apparently you can't have these: ' > ' next to these: ' " ' inside an italics bracket.

I fixed my part now, I think, except for these last three comments. Guess that's on you .

Well, didn't the same thing happen with the 3DS, and I think the Wii U is facing the same thing.
