People that keep saying its 4th, we are in 3ds's 5th year.

2011= 1st Year
2012= 2nd Year
2013= 3rdYear
2014= 4th Year
2015= 5th Year (starting Feb/March)

Will continue support in its 6 year as well going by FE:if in West, and a couple japanese announced i think 2016

It's 4th year in the sense that it is already 4+ years old, I would say.  Though, if we were to say what year it's in, it would be more accurate to say 5th. (Works the same way as what Century you're in).


The title suggest now and the near future. Thats why im talking 5th year, it is 4 years old though!!!

It is kind of strange that someone would think a system that is 4+ years old ISN'T an aging system.  The 3DS is definitely past its prime, yet the OP makes it seem like it's not.  Even if it was 3 years old and on its 4th year, that's still half (or more) way through its life cycle.

I don't think it would be worth the time to try and sway the OP about this topic.  He thinks that 2013 was a terrible year for the 3DS.

Hope the NX is going to be Nintendo Steam for Phones

 


How could you possibly hope something like that? :/ The point of buying DeNa was not for the phone business but to make a new service that unifies all their platforms in addition to mobile and PC. An accessible platform from anywhere, this would be a huge step up from the competition who have very little going for them in that aspect. Though Microsoft has tried to unify Xbox and PC with Games for Windows and that didn't do well, Xbox and Surrface was also a flop. They are trying again with Windows 10. Sony let you buy games from your phone and it would download on your playstation, that's a bust now. So if Nintendo can get this right, then they will have a huge edge over the competition in this aspect.

Personally I hope the NX is the console that Iwata claimed it would. He said it would be for gamers.


The only piece of Hardware I carry around is my phone. And it would be great to play Nintendo titles on the go.

I understand your point. A lot of Nintendo fans including myself really don't want to see Nintendo go into the mobile area as a lot of mobile games do not have the same standard of quality as real gaming platforms. I don't doubt Nintendo's mobile games will be better than 99% of the mobile games out there but I would imagine them to be small simple games. I find it ironic that Nintendo is finally opening up to the mobile area with all their pass hatred toward that particular market. Though it is funny that they brought out an established company in the mobile market to do so. Perhaps we will see them make their own phone like device and try to compete in that market. It would be a very profitable 3rd pillar and it could easily be combined with the health care ideas they have. Something like this would likely be marketed toward a more casual crowd for a greater mass market appeal. I don't see them abandoning the Console or Handheld market either.

Besides what's wrong with carrying your 3DS around with you? I understand the XL but the regular 3DS should fit in your pocket with no problem. I say that as someone who carries more things in his pocket than the average person. Not just my phone, wallet, and keys. I carry other devices as well so my pockets are always full. I literally always need to wear a belt or I'll look like a swagger (with absolutely no intention of doing so) XD
