So yea...Nintendo 3DS

[d5kxlollerz]

At least it aint as bad as the Philips CD-I..... Now that's what I call a turd console.

The fact that we even have to debate whether or not the 3DS is a rehash or an entirely new system speaks volumes about Nintendo's recent strategy. We know there have been a million different ds and psp versions in the past few years, and it is difficult not to wonder if we shall be faced with another shortly.

DS, DSLite, DSi, DSXL, 3DS...

DS Micro has to be coming.

[Nabeel Ansari]

Just occurred to me unless someone has mentioned this before, but if we're complaining about

DS > DS Lite > DSi > DSi XL

why are we not complaining about

PSP 1000 > PSP 2000 > PSP 3000 > PSP Go

???

Because this is the DS thread

Last time I checked it was a thread about Nintendo's new hand held console temporarily named the "3DS".

All right, so it's a suburb of the DS thread. It's still no place to trash talk the PSP, as that could start some bad things brewing. Next thing you know, PSP owners come in here snapping their fingers, singing about "When you're a Go, you're a Go all the way" and then a D-pad fight breaks out.

Good point, I'm just saying it sounds like you guys are saying Nintendo's the only company who has issues with their handheld console upgrades.

[Gollgagh]

I want a Go myself, but my PSP1000 is still going strong

mostly

The difference is, we pan the PSP Go, and everyone applauds.

We pan the 3DS, and lurkers register to defend Nintendo's honor.

I have no problem with differing opinions, until I see and play the thing, i'll refrain judgement on it...

You're right, that should have read:

It's a Nintendo thread. God forbid people stay on topic.

Well, and the market. Kotaku's census says around 5% of the readers that participated in its census have a PSP Go: http://kotaku.com/5500495/kotaku-census-2010-the-results-in-full

Obviously that's not a end-all statistic, but I worked at a local used game store for about a year and a half and the ONE PSP Go we had didn't sell for weeks. Again, anecdotal evidence, but still.

I visualized you saying this like a Gangsta and I totally laughed.
