Not that I EXPECT you to own one. No no no. I Don't even own one. I'm just curious as to why you don't own one.

Well for me, I'm not at all interested in this 3D craze. I would prefer a more powerful DS over stupid 3D gimmicks. The battery life seems like a killer, and the lack of games at the moment makes me want to wait for the next rennovation of the 3DS. Weren't there rumors of them making one that has dual analog and no 3D function?

I don't own one because my brother does. I mooch off him, like he mooched off my PSP (and still does) for four years and counting.

I would assume it's the lack of games out right now. I don't mind, I still have a bunch of games I need to catch up on the DS.

To be honest, the 3D doesn't have to be used at all. It IS a more powerful handheld than the DS, and most games do look and run better with the 3D off too, so if you're a graphics whore you essentially have nothing to worry about. :P The 3DS for me is fine, as I own one, but I just want to say if you think the 3DS is all about the 3D, it's not. I mean, I do use it a lot for me, but the battery life hasn't been any real issue. I get enough playtime out of mine before I recharge it, and the cradle makes it easy to plant and charge when I'm not using it. Dual analog missing is a bummer, I admit. However, the rest of the system is nice. I personally love the system's SpotPass/StreetPass features the most. They are really neat little surprises I enjoy when opening my system and seeing I have a challenger in DOA: D from a random person I passed by, or a new Mii in my Plaza that can save my king and help me get cool hats for my Mii to wear. Then there's the online mode, that's much better by having a unified list and a friend's list you can view anytime on the system. I just wish they'd add an update to let you write messages :x Overall it's a great system already, but the software support needs to happen fast...

I don't own one because I don't have the money to spare at the moment. The new price is what got me interested. I absolutely refuse to pay $250 for a handheld game system. I don't care what it does; for that much, I could go out and buy a PS3.

How many spot pass do you have, I usually read people say they only have like 5 or so. If I'm not mistaking Ninty said something about a messaging system being in a future update. I'll try to find a link.

It sucks. Phones have already passed it by. As for the Nintendo properties..........They can only do so much with the same game over and over again and the Wii taught me they can't do anything else to Mario or Mario Kart.

My Mii Plaza has over 70 passes, and I've had the system for almost a month. As for DOA: D, I have had maybe around 20, but I think that one is less popular. Most people in my Mii Plaza are playing SSFIV, which I don't own yet :P I'll admit, I probably have more luck getting Spot/StreePasses because for me, I take the system to work, and where I work has high traffic volume. I work at Disneyland... :P So you could imagine, I have a much higher chance of getting a streetpass with someone than most normal people.

I don't like it. If I get one, it'll be really late in the gen when it and all of the future Nintendo games that will appeal to me are really cheap.

I have a DS Lite, and since it had a much needed price cut and with a new colour coming out (Flame Red) I've been thinking of getting one a little more seriously, but it lacks games.

Meh... I could be swayed either way. The original Luigi's Mansion was a fun little romp, but honestly it's not what I envisioned our green plumber doing when not accompanying Mario.

Hint hint, Nintendo: We want Super Paper Luigi: Adventures in Eclair Kingdom!

As of now, lots of reasons. The game has no good games out (or that appeal to me), and dont see much on the horizon either (next 6 months). The system itself has a poor online implementation, and the thing was way over priced at launch (altough the current $170 price is very good). Lastly the hardware aint that great and I will wait for the redesign (plus Super Smash) to come out before I'll get it.

I'm waiting for a hardware revision before I buy one. I actually own a couple 3DS games, SF43D and Zelda OoT 3d, but I'm not in any rush to buy the system yet. I'm not a fan of the battery life it offers.

well, I don't think anybody asked. both of those games are at the top of my list to get day one.

70, nice, did you like the finished pictures? I thought they were cool. Anyway, how's DoA, I've been planning to get it since it's release but haven't made up the mind.

So what if phones have superior hardware? They don't have anywhere near the developer support that a handheld console will. And did you really say that about Mario when Nintendo made the Super Mario Galaxy games this gen?

I don't own one because the system is ugly as sin, there are no worthwhile games for the price tag, the battery life sucks and the upcoming lineup of games doesn't get me very excited.

The lack of games that make me want to pay $170 inorder to playthem. I grew up with the n64 so I played most of the big games and If i was going to spend $40 on street fighter would spend it on the superior pc version. Also the fact that the vita is coming out has certainly been a deterrent towards investing into a 3ds the games are far more appealing to me on the psv so far and the multimedia functions its offering will be superior to the 3ds combined with all the power and ways to control games they packed into the vita makes it for me much more appealing then the 3ds.
