LOLI NEED SCISSORS said:I feel it's been on a downhill spiral since late last year:
- poor battery life
- paltry online features
- delayed eShop
- crap launch
- screen scratching hardware flaw
- price; compounded by Vita for $250
- Metal Gear Solid 3D downgrade
- minimal information surrounding early 2012 titles
- Resident Evil Mercenaries save data scandal
- delays
- cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3
I'm actively getting rid of mine as we speak.
ViolentP said:You realize they can say the exact same thing about those touting success prematurely, right?
Count Dookkake said:Of course. Just like with the DS and the Wii.
Worth noting that considering the two screens put together rather than solely looking at the top, 3DS's screen area is closer to Vita than it is to PSP. DSiXL is still waaaay above any of them, though.theBishop said:Vita = 5"
PSP = 4.3"
DS XL = 4.2"
PSP Go = 3.8"
3DS = 3.5"
DSi = 3.3"
GBA = 2.9"
PSP's 4.3" screen was considered huge on a handheld in 2004. 3DS is a little on the small side, but it's one of the biggest screens Nintendo has ever used.

Yep. Most of those issues were known before launch. If they bothered him, he should have waited.Shiggy said:His fault for buying one in the first place?
Shiggy you know about this more than I do, but from what I gather a whole bunch of 3DS projects have been cut behind the scenes. Take N-Space they said to be working on 3 3DS projects, but only one was announced.Shiggy said:His fault for buying one in the first place?

personally, i'm waiting for that damn Animal Crossing to drop
fuckin love animal crossing
After four months. It sounds more like you're just impatient and an impulse buyer. Again, your fault. You choose what you you buy and when you buy it. If you need a constant stream of games to consider a system worth owning, then you shouldn't be buying systems at launch.I NEED SCISSORS said:No, it's not my fault at all. In fact if anything I contributed more to the platform than the millions of people who didn't buy one and are actively killing it. I bought it on the potential that it was going to be good. It was Nintendo as well as third parties which failed to live up to that.

upJTboogie said:I definitely made the right choice to wait it out and not be an early adapter. It should have a better price and a much better library in about a year though.
Shiggy said:Or he hoped for some new software announcements at E3 and didn't expect several promising titles to be cancelled or downgraded (MGS3).
It's no surprise that the price already went down from 249 to 179 ...

Rather early adopter risks. If you jump in during the launch window/first year you know about the risks.Shiggy said:His fault for buying one in the first place?
Actually, DS' biggest game was Mario 64 DS for a long time, but I guess it doesn't count since it was only 8+ years at that point.Mr. B Natural said:Other new system's biggest game is a remake over a ten+ year old title?
No.
The reason you do not understand is that you're projecting your own personal opinion on other people.SmokyDave said:I don't understand why those titles are enough to sustain people. They're all very polished, very competent franchises but there's just nothing new to see there. I'd expect people to be salivating over new and exciting third party IP's, not marginal iterations on existing franchises.
But that's not the case.I NEED SCISSORS said:something is wrong if there is barely even any potential for a 2012 turnaround.

Busaiku said:Besides the price, it's nowhere near as bad as the DS was in its first year.
boris feinbrand said:You sure that's 179 Euros and not 179 Pound?

I know I do.
The DS game line up was HORRIBLE it's first year.

Magic Ovaries said:When it was originally announced I was excited, then as more info started to release it became not worth buying.
First its an ugly ugly looking machine, they didn't even try to make it look slick...its a direct copy of their previous system with ugliness slapped on.
Then the battery life, price, lack of software, releasing N64 games at full price, still having friend codes makes the whole package very unattractive.
And then there's Android/iOS, the competition...which looks to be getting stronger and stronger.
Lazy effort at premium price cannot survive anymore.
Shiggy said:That was a deal yesterday. Still, 189.99 is also a huge drop.
True. I'm happy that I waited. And I'm currently rather thinking about buying the DSi XL than the 3DS if it finally dropped in price...it's only 10 less than the 3DS...
Ouendan, Jam with the Band, Kirby Power Paintbrush, Another Code ... no, it was quite good. (I won't count ports from other consoles as those are cheap cash-ins...Super Mario 64)
Mikey Jr. said:MegaMan Legends was CANCELLED!?!?
WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
When did this happen!?!?
Nuclear Muffin said:You are kinda cheating there by listing imports, in which case, you should include Layton 5 and Fantasy Life (assuming that doesn't get delayed)
Shiggy said:Or he hoped for some new software announcements at E3 and didn't expect several promising titles to be cancelled or downgraded (MGS3).
Shiggy said:That's a whole new issue...region-locking. On DS you could play and buy them at a normal price (40 EUR) - on 3DS you need a whole new unit.
ViolentP said:Wait, downgraded how?
Nuclear Muffin said:Fair enough. Even so, I think it's safe to say that the 3DS' 1st year lineup is much better than the original DS.
