CPU & RAM...certainly...GPU wise...something equivalent or a bit stronger maybe. only thing comes to mind is the the Galaxy S. "much more" is an overstatement

Thus far I must admit I am impressed with it. I'll wait for it to be released before I pass judgement on it though.

I do, but because of the all the games I want to get next year, Mass Effect 2 PS3, Portal 2, Zelda, Last Story/Xenoblade if localized, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Ico collection, Last Guardian if I like the Ico Collection, and more including whatever else may be announced, Imma just spend all my money on games and forget about the 3DS...for now.

I love how TC can insist we should all "love" a system that no one has played yet. Not fanboyish at all.

3D without glasses is suppose to look better and a lot less like flat layers with dept and blurry like in the cinema, when you try this think it will blow you away

Of course. It will be a true gaming machine. Nintendo will deliver for the hard core, the graphics are good, and 3rd party support will be crazy with this system.

As a piece of tech, totally. For the games, I'm not sure yet. Too many ports and games that would work way better on a home console. If the DS serves as indicative, that is meant to change over time, so I'm gonna wait and see.

No.

I didn't like any of the previous DSs and the added 3D doesn't add anything for time waste games.

It doesn't actually do anything but play games?

I unclear why anyone would want such such a device unless one was a child with a long school bus ride... and it seems a little steep for most children.

At the very least the 3ds should be able to text and make phone calls if not surf the web.

I am not even buying it for the 3D. I hope the 3D is good, but I am buying it for everything else which makes the new games look amazing. I love the analog slider, better graphics, and better online. SO many games I am going to buy its going to be painful :P.

A Nintendo platform with Nintendo games is awesome... so yes, the 3DS is awesome. 3D camera, 3D movies, 3D GAMES! So much win. I'm prepared to spend $300 on it on launch day, but I'll be a happy camper if Nintendo lowers it for the US.

Nice made up numbers :P. I would say it will be 250 in the states with 40 dollar games, although both of us could be very wrong. And when i am more excited for these handheld games than many console games, I am indeed willing to pay a bit of money. Mario Kart, Paper Mario, Resident Evil, Ocarina of Time, and SOO many more great ones make this a must own handheld IMO.

No. They're most likely going to charge $300 for it and it has nothing but outdated hardware.

I'm very impressed with it. It looks like it will provide a nice balance for me between games that are pure fun and games that take themselves too seriously.

I don't understand people. Yes because those phones have all the amazing games on them, and great controls too :roll:. Also for people like me who don't like to spend an arm and a leg on a phone plan, they don't want their gaming device to be a frikkin phone.

They compete in the portable market. But they are in essence completely different products. One product will not replace the other.

They can't make it all about the 3D since you can turn it off completely.

At $299 I'm starting to look the way of the PSP2.... who knows if the games interest me I may buy it.
