This is actually kind of cool, though.

The only comment on that article sums up my thoughts perfectly:

Quote from: Tridus

The problem with the 3DS is more then just a lack of good software. The 3D gimmick doesn’t stay interesting very long and doesn’t work if you can’t stay perfectly still (such as playing in a car). So people turn it off and leave it off.

With it off, the 3DS is just a slightly fancier DS with VERY poor battery life. The system is a major blunder in the mobile space for a company that’s dominated handheld gaming for as long as most people can remember.

Had Nintendo never released the 3DS, they wouldn't be experiencing this loss. It's simple as that.

The 3DS is not "a slightly fancier DS." That's like saying the Gamecube was a slightly fancier N64.

Even without the 3D stuff, the 3DS is far more powerful than the regular DS, and that contributes a great deal to the lower battery life.

Stop focusing on the gimmicks of the hardware and using them as an excuse to ignore everything else about the system. It makes you sound like a Sony fanboy circa November 2006 trying to defend his $600 console purchase.

What can I say, the 3DS is ahead of its time, way too powerful for a handheld and battery life; how long could a battery that small truly last for the CPU hogging 3Ds? I'm also sure the gender-detection scared a lot of people off. Also, Nintendo doesn't care about games anymore, and I can see the perspective on that.

I did not lose.

Please justify that. I think Nintendo has some great looking games coming. If you'd said Nindtendo doesn't care about "new" games anymore I could agree with you. Still, Paper Mario and SMB games coming to 3DS are must haves for me. The price drop is almost enough for me now, but I'm trying to wait on the next generation with better battery life.
