i agree with that point as well, but that's nintendo's mo anyway. however, i like the 3ds line-up, and it's getting kid icarus. plus the copious amount of 3rd party development helps. anything from nintendo, besides the abysmal wii, and i'll take it.

Those numbers is what i calculated right now from the confirmed hardware specs. I mean, i'm just writing it as i see it, i'm not biased in any way, shape or form.

Like i said, i honestly don't care about handhelds, never had one, never will buy one, because i have no intention to play games on the go. If i'm anywere on the go (in weekends, vacations, etc.) i'm gonna enjoy it with friends and family, without games. There's always a place and time to play video games.

The wii can play lots of olde tymey games and some great news ones IMO. I think it was very much in the sprit of the NES as it undoubtedly started tons of 6 and 7 year olds gaming.

That maybe true but for the other two consoles this gen one was def. overpriced and the other used faulty hardware. No gimmicks (cept 6 axis) but no really diff from the previous gen cept graphics. Each person had to choose. I got a PSP first then a Wii but i think most gamers were happy. The ones who were not sold there wiis or let them rot.

Over-priced compared to what? With 360 and ps3 you get a system several times more powerful, large HDD's, media capable devices(bluray, streaming etc.) and internet services not from the mid 90's. Nintendo has gone on record saying they raised the wii and 3ds price by $50 each after the warm reception at e3. 360 and ps3 are a steal compared to what the wii offers.

i have all three major consoles. i would have to say that the ps3 is worth every penny. at least u actually benefitted from owning it. it has so much functionality, not to mention, wait for it, a blu ray player. which contrary to the popular consensus on this forum, is very essential, as we are now seeing the limitations of the standard dvd. the box is serviceable, but the lack of built in wifi and internet browser is unforgivable. the wii, though it has an internet browser, is just plain unacceptable. but this isn't a wii bashing thread, so i'll get my rocks off on the 3ds!

if the 360s didn't have faulty hardware at launch the you would be correct but it was overpriced because it was garbage. PS3 was super expensive at lanuch and IMO overpriced. But i do think you have a good point as they do online much better than the wii and have much better storage (although it doesn't matter because the wii doesn't have games that do online well anyways, this is not a positive), as things stand today the 360 seems like the best deal. But doesn't matter to me...not getting another system anytime soon

How can it be? It has the VC for classic games and a bunch of great Nintendo IPs including three 2D platformers (DKCR, NCMBii and KEY). Four if you count the new Kirby game.

I think this topic made me die a little inside. FACT: 3DS is hardly more of a rehash system than the GBA was to the GBC. it is more powerful and comparible to the Wii. FACT: Everyone has an opinion. the Wii has games to play, in my opinion its not a good primary system. to some people it is. stop acting like it dosen't exist FICTION: The Wii has nothing to offer gamers, its no good as anything more than a netflix player

I'm very interested in how you *calculated* this. care to explain?

EDIT: :lol: I know how you *calculated* this, you just multiplied the ram in the ds (which is 4 mbs) by 24 = 96 mbs which is what's in the 3ds. and that's how you got 24 times.

so Ram is everything now? seriously people, if you don't know what you're talking about don't say anything.

The PS3 was $600, which was expensive but not overpriced. The console sold at a loss, and for the money you paid, you got a Blu-Ray player (which at the time would have set you back like $800), plus a solid gaming system with fairly good features. On the other hand the Wii was essentially on overclocked GC (man the gamecube was a great system though, so many good games for it that looked great, like rebel strike)., but yeah anyway it was essentially an over clocked GC, except that the parts used where of a smaller size (die size), and the system was sold for $250 (overpriced since GC was $100).

in my opinion, the wii was okay, but It felt like they just threw it out into the market with a few big title games. I was disapointed when a few of the games came out like

Pokemon Battle Revolution

New super mario bros wii was good, but hard

and many others that just didn't seem to feel right on the wii because of something....

I think the 3ds will be great, I just want to make sure that nintendo doesn't do what they did this time again, because, I just bought a dsi last may. I think that nintendo is a good company that just releases systems, nowadays, too fast.
