The 3ds is a great system, with fantastic games, but if you think it's sold this much because it's clearly a superior gaming device, you're wrong. It sells because its main demographic are the kiddies. Just go to any mall or any local toy store and you'll see what I mean. You'll see kids holding their 3DSes with one hand while holding mommy's hand in the other. The reason why a Sony portable exist is because they saw an opening to target the older, more hardcore crowd. Unfortunately, because the Vita is lagging in sales, they are only now trying to appeal to the casual market (see the new Vita Pets game and the new Vita model that comes with new colors). So there you have it folks, the real reason why 3ds sells so much. You can thank me later.
