I just want my RE mercs. Honestly id have waited to pick one up If I had known it would be so easily available to get. He'll gamestop here has 2 used ones already

At least they concede the software problem. I think they've done fairly well for an ill-conceived premature launch of an unfinished system with no killer app.

I thought it was mostly because it was released in March instead of a holiday season and because there are only a couple worthwhile games on it so far. I love my 3DS and all, but I can only play SSF4 online and go against Ryu a couple hundred times before I want more games.

I bought mine day one and I have played it every single day since. I love this little machine and it's going to get better and better as the year goes on.

It's not that I don't want, it's just too damn expensive for me right now. Hopefully I'll have a job soon, but right now, money is not something I have a lot of at the moment.

I lol at anyone who says this is a sign of the 3DS's doom. So okay it wasn't up to their expectations. 3.6 million units is still a lot.

The handheld is not going to fail.

Ghost recon shadow wars gets me pretty far.

I'm gonna say that the biggest problem is the price. I love my 3DS, but I struggle with telling anyone to buy it at $250. Also, anytime I show it to someone they're blown away...until they they ask how much it costs...

A 250 dollar portable with no games isnt going to sell. Also i cant believe people are making such a huge deal over ocarin of time. Sure it's probably in my top 3 favorite games of all time, but im not going to buy a 250 dollar just to replay it (especially if it is going to cost 40 dollars and have little bonus content)

I'm not getting one until there's a Mario or Pikmin title.

I have a deep seated fear that the 3ds will make me go cross eyed...

Oddly enough,my DS broke down the day before the 3DS came out, so I went ahead and bought one. Street Fighter 4 is fun but after awhile it gets old. So I'm playing DS games that I never finished (Okamiden, Golden Sun, Pokemon). Its a great handheld but it lacks games at this point.

Also, region lock.

Nintendo always unveils their release schedule at E3, so we'll know soon enough if the thing is going to sell or not.

Yeah sales will increase when more games and the eShop come out.

I love how people call the battery life abysmal when they've obviously never actually tried it. OH BUT IT LASTS TWO HOURS. No it doesn't. You could force it if you're absolutely retarded and have 3D on, wifi on, brightness maxed out and the battery saver mode turned off. Then you'll get around 2-3 hours. Turn off what you don't need, turn the brightness down so it doesn't wash out the screen, turn on battery saver mode and oh hey look it has better battery life than the PSP. And it lasts longer than the DSi for playing DS games.

OH BUT IT'S FUCKING ABYSMAL. Whatever. None of you retards actually knows shit about it. You just make up stats because of some random internet piece of shit.

And the idea that a region lock on it is actually affecting is even more retarded. Yes I'm sure you'd like to play...the exact same games but from Japan. Whooooooo. Too bad it's still region free for DS games which are the only games you will actually be looking at to play.

Not that any of you who actually want region free gaming would actually pay for them. More than likely you're all just sitting there clutching your Acekards and pirating the shit out of every little game that comes out, ruining the entire industry one little piece at a time.

How come nobody gives Ridge Racer any love? It's the game I still play the most and it also shows off the 3D capabilities the best. If only it had online play.

@EggmaniMN: Let's see.... guess is you're an american that doesn't realise that just cause you get a game doens't mean the rest of the world does. Region locking to me means I don't get many games I want to play (that are released in other english speaking countries), I have to wait months longer than you for the games that do come out and I get to play double the price for the privilage! I bought 60-80 games for the DS of which maybe about 20 were from my own country. So go fuck yourself.

Hmmm...

Or that 250 price tag. That's a home console price right there, Nintendo.

I hope this pushes Nintendo to be more competitive. Their money printing bubble will burst unless they learn from their mistakes with the Wii, and it seems like they'll get it right with the 3DS

@Operative20
Nope - it's not dumb. I have every system on the market, but I have no desire to get a 3DS until more worthwhile titles come out, and either a Lite version (for that price) with more features releases, or a price drop. It looks better than the DS, but not THAT much better.

Buying the 1st version of any new tech has more cons that pros in my opinion;
More expensive
More prone to tech/physical problems
Inferior to the updated version which is usually always at most a year or so away.
And with consoles-small selection of games.
It always pays to wait a while

The price being a problem? Can I remind everyone that it's the price of an iPod touch?

I haven't bought one because there are no games I want to play on it. It's not a big freakin' mystery.

The DS launch was like this too. It took a good six months or so before titles started rolling in that I was actually interested in picking up.
