Why is the 3DS top screen so small? So they make 10 versions again?

Look how much oom there is on the sides of the 3ds top screen, this means that nintendo will milk it again and make 10 different versions that sport slightly bigger screens each time.

they were all big no matter what version you got.

they can easily make it a big 5 inch screen but choose not to.

are you serious? the 3ds is just as big as the psp2, the onyl difference is the 3ds screen is so small, they have room on both sides of the screen but chose to make it 3.5 inches again.

[QUOTE="lbjkurono23"][QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"]I see more DS' than PSP's. PSP owners are the ones ashamed based on what I and I alone saw. Because my eyes are the judge of the entire world.

:(... okay.

Some people like portable handhelds. I'm totally fine with the screen size, maybe be .25 inch bigger, but overall I'm cool with the size of the screens.

Plus making the top screen bigger means the bottom screen would have to be bigger, and the thing is the size of a DS Lite already, making the bottom screen bigger makes the whole thing unnecessarily wide.

Apparently all the game critics, sites and mags who have given the DS more A/AA/AAA games over the last 3 years than PSP are also children as well, and in that case we really need to stop child labor IMO.

But both platforms are solid and I never base my purchases off my age because I am a gamer.

top screen is big enough , if you want a giant display get a hd tv and a console lol,

and as for the multiple skus , every handheld has had them

psp -psp 2000 psp 3000 psp go

ngage ngage qd

ds dslite dsi dsixl

gba gba sp gbasp mach 2 gbmicro

gb gbpocket , the only handheld ever not to have more then one sku is game boy color odd , same for consoles the only console that hasnt changed in its run so far is

the wii the n64 and the gc from ms -xbox 1 from sony-none all of them were redesigned , sega- i think saturn and dc were the only unchanged systems for sega ,

so stop whining , its gonna happen if no t enough people buy 3ds or 3ds slows sales, nintendo has to find ways to boost sales,

they might add a 2nd analog if 3ds sales are slow which i doubt it

even if the psp is more powerful , 3ds will still come out the victor just like psp vs ds this is no different

Look how much oom there is on the sides of the 3ds top screen, this means that nintendo will milk it again and make 10 different versions that sport slightly bigger screens each time.

And how many models of the PSP are there? Its unfair to single out Nintendo on this and ignore the face that this is a common occurrence in the electronics indsturdy.

Why is the DS always singled out for having several models when other systems like the Atari 2600(2 models), Intellevision(2 models), NES(2 Model), Genesis(3 models), SNES(2 models), 3D0(3 models), PS1(2 models), PS2(2 models), Xbox 360(2 models) and PS3(2 models) have done the same thing over the years?

And those are just home consoles, lets not forget the handheld systems like the Lynx, Game Boy Family, PSP, Wonderswan, and other portables that have also seen various hardware revisions over the years.

Hardware revisions are done to cut costs, fix problems and issues with previous models of the hardware, and renew consumer interest in a product.

This argument is flawed by the fact that Nintendo is not the only one who has brought out revised hardware over the lifespan of a system. If you're going to call out Nintendo on this, then you better do the same for Sony, Microsoft, Sega, Atari, and other companies that have also done the same thing over the years.

Otherwise, drop this pathetic argument.

The bottom screen is even smaller. It bothers me both aren't the same size, just looks odd.Luxen90

Apparently you missed the point of what was being said People constantly attack Nintendo on releasing several versions of the DS and then conveniently ignore the fact that Sony has done the same thing with the PSP.

It called a double standard since Sony almost never gets called out on having 4 versions of the PSP and yet, this is the first argument people turn to when they want to bash the DS.

For the record, the DSi XL has larger screens and then previous models of the DS.
