Already we are seeing a big rise in the 3DS's japanese sales after getting a just a remake (OOT)... even depite its price point, and as the DS is phased out adopters will move to the 3DS. The reason? Is because of the games. Mario, Mario Kart, SSB, Pokemon each game a megaton in the handheld rhealm. They appeal to gamers of all demographics, sexes, ages (not just adolescent males) and they have a MASSIVE army of loyal followers. Why are people giving the Vita a chance? It's graphics? What did they do for the PSP against the DS? Do people really believe that most handheld consumers are looking for a portable console experience? So they can play Uncharted on the bus? They never have and they never will. Most of you are stuck thinking like hardcore gamers and can't see the bigger picture, which is that the majority of the handheld market doesn't think like you at all. They just want fun pick up and play experiences that aren't too heavy or involving. You are a tiny minority. Trapped here on this little board together thinking that there's a lot more of you than there actually is because of it. The truth is that Nintendo's handheld marketshare may shrink, and that will be due to the cheap Iphone games costing pennies. That's the big threat. Vita's is not even on the map. Not even a player. A distant third to the big boys.

Portable console sounds fun to me. Looking forward to seeing it. PSP is already powerful enough. Vita will be a real killer.

I give it a chance because nothing is certain in the gaming industry,people had been loving mario since ever,that did not stop the GC and N64 from failing hard.

It sounds cool to me too... but the reality is, we only make a tiny demographic of the handheld crowd while everyone else wants quick, fun pick up and play games that they don't have to get too serious into. This is the handheld market. This is why the DS obliterated the PSP and this is why even cheap Iphone games are a threat to everything.

You honestly think the fanbase for Uncharted is bigger than Zelda, Mario, Pokémon etc...?
Not even a chance.

Yeah, I don't think there's any demand for the portable console experience at all. Games like OOT, Mario, Mario Kart and SSB are in absolutely no way portable versions of their console counterparts.

The 3DS and Vita are going to sell for the same price (not like PSP vs. DS). It's going to be a battle.

By the way, what was the most popular handheld in Japan for most of this year up until OOT was released? The PSP... so don't think the brand isn't growing in prestige and reputation over there.

It's going to be a battle. There's no guarantee the 3DS will keep high sales. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see it recede back into the 20ks after a few weeks... I wouldn't be surprised if the PSP regains the #1 weekly hardware position.

We can't predict the future of a system based off of one week in which a megaton system-seller was released. Let's see where it is next week and the week after that.

Console games which have translated themselves well to handhelds and proven themselves because they're pick up and play, not too serious, and appeal to all demographics not just 13-35 year old men.

Why are there so many of these topics? Is it because 3DS owners are mad, months after launch, a 12 year old N64 game is the only game worth playing on it? Because I am one of those, and I am not mad. I am waiting for the VITA. Missing out on platforms means missing out on games. :wink:

You do realize the Incharted game coming to the Vita is not a port right? Oh no of course you don't because you just made it clear with what you said that you didn't do your research before responding. ;)

I'm interested in the Vita but the 3DS has already won me with its upcoming games. PSP is great compared to the DS in terms of graphics but most of the PSP games I actually care about aren't graphic powerhouses (Riviera, Tactics Ogre). Basically, I like how Vita is being powerful and all but it has to have the games to make me buy one.

I never said anywhere that it was a port. It's not exactly a huge selling franchise even on consoles where it's better suited, yet on a portable it's going to sell gangbusters? Wake me up when that happens.

I dont agree. When it comes to quality titles I believe 1 didnt have that much more than the other.

I know people are hyping up the Vita and everything, but I think the biggest threat is that this holiday is when Vita launches, and it will be up against an established handheld system with a decent library, and then backed up by games like Mario Kart. So I think the 3DS may steal the show this holiday.

really I don't see what all the hype for the 3DS is all over. All their top games coming out are just the next game is over used old IPs from Nintendo. Give us new IPs. I can at least say I see a lot of new IPs coming for the Vita like Little Deviants for example. I couldn't care less for another Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, or Mario Kart game. I want new IPs. When Nintedno starts doing that instead of "Oh let's make another Mario game", then I will take more interest in the 3DS. Well that and it getting a price drop because at $250, the 3DS just isn't worth it.

There are a lot of new IPs on the 3DS too, though. Like Kid Icarus. Like Beyond the Labyrinth. Like Heroes of Ruin. You know, they're there, you just have to actually look past your preconception.

If those games are made to utilize the 3DS' uniqueness and features, then they're not "console games". Look at SSF4 for 3DS. The Streetpass and all that makes it an actual handheld game.

There is nothing wrong with providing games. As long as they're GOOD, repeated franchises or not, I'm all for it.

Because I am one of those, and I am not mad. I am waiting for the VITA. Missing out on platforms means missing out on games. :wink: Bread_or_Decide
Ghost Recon SSF4 DoA: Dimensions OoT And soon, RE Mercenaries

You're only proving him right by listing those games nobody cares about....

If no one cared about Ocarina, it would not have sold out, and it would not have caused the 3DS sales bump that it did.

[QUOTE="LastRambo341"][QUOTE="AmazonTreeBoa"]

really I don't see what all the hype for the 3DS is all over. All their top games coming out are just the next game is over used old IPs from Nintendo. Give us new IPs. I can at least say I see a lot of new IPs coming for the Vita like Little Deviants for example. I couldn't care less for another Zelda, Mario, Pokemon, or Mario Kart game. I want new IPs. When Nintedno starts doing that instead of "Oh let's make another Mario game", then I will take more interest in the 3DS. Well that and it getting a price drop because at $250, the 3DS just isn't worth it.

Nintendo has so many franchises that it doesn't need new IPs. MMZ is the MAGIC of Nintendo, why do they think people like em so much?

Sigh. This kind of thinking is what's wrong with Nintendo and their fanbase. SMH

Yup, more ports incoming.

There is nothing wrong with providing games. As long as they're GOOD, repeated franchises or not, I'm all for it.

I love how every Sony second party took a chance on a new IP this gen. That's the kind of risk taking I like. Nintendo just doesn't do this anymore. Kid Icarus is a new IP...but technically it's not brand new he's just been MIA for eons.

The last Kid Icarus game was twenty five years ago, and it had nothing to do with this new game... I'd say Kid Icarus is a new IP by any account.

The notion that 3DS automatically destroys it's competetion by way of being 3DS does'nt bode well for humanity.

I like to think we choose products because they deliver intrinsic value and appeal, sadly that makes me dellusional.

If those games are made to utilize the 3DS' uniqueness and features, then they're not "console games". Look at SSF4 for 3DS. The Streetpass and all that makes it an actual handheld game.

I continue to argue that the phrase "3DS Uniqueness" is the worst phrase in the English language. Say it out loud for a second. It just sounds horrendous. Please stop using it. I beg you.

Lol sometimes i'm not sure if you're being serious or just pulling everyones leg. Vita games that use its "unique" features = consoles but with 3ds they're handheld games.

Out of the 165 games on the 3DS (announced+released) SIX, I repeat, SIX are ports. So, er, what was that about ports again?

Vita might be the system that defeats nintendo in handhelds because it is superior hardware at equal cost. Plus, the psp was stunted by a bad design. It had just the one thumbstick, one that wasn't very good really, and the screen was really bad in the first systems. Also that UMD format is not great and it gave them the stank of failure with that UMD movie format attempt. The vita is loaded with features: two higher quality thumbsticks, a beautiful big touch screen, and of course they are switched to cartridges and downloadables.

I know people are hyping up the Vita and everything, but I think the biggest threat is that this holiday is when Vita launches, and it will be up against an established handheld system with a decent library, and then backed up by games like Mario Kart. So I think the 3DS may steal the show this holiday.

Xbox 360 vs Wii....One had 8 million units sold,tons of games including Gears which debut on 2006 the year the Wii was launch,and the rest is basically history,and who in his right mind would give Nintendo a winning chance when even the xbox sold more units last gen,and was more expensive from go than the GC.
