But that's the thing; Developers have no reason to STAY with the DS anymore, now that the prices are much more comparable. So while we will be getting games that were already in development, most projects will just be started on the superior successor to the console. Once one of the bigger franchises moves to the 3DS, we will see a huge migration of DS users. Pokemon will probably be the killer, but I see a few people changing over for Rune Factory and SMT:DS Overclocked...

That's true, Pokemon will definitely shift some 3DSs. I was expecting Ocarina of Time to do that as well but I guess it didn't pan out like that. Maybe an original Zelda game will get the 3DSs off the shelves. Rune Factory 4 and Kingdom Hearts definitely sold me! :3

I do disagree that you think it will be a natural migration of projects. The GameCube lost alot of series that were on it's console when the Wii released, Soul Calibur, Main Resident Evil titles to name a few.

Idk i guess they just don't appeal to me anymore. I don't like many of them because of the atmosphere of them, of course i'm not saying i like the atmosphere of those overated Fps. But I like the scary or mysterious atmosphere in a a game which is why i played amnesia

Simirlarly, but not quite the same I wish there were a few more maturer Nintendo titles. I'm not saying Mario and Yoshi are babyish I just wish there was a bit more depth to their games... I don't know it's hard to explain.

I actually prefer quantity, I need to feel the game has been worth my buck. Epic Yarn was a great experiece but I can't give it anything over a 6/10 because the only thing 'epic' about it was how short it was. I managed to finish it all in one sitting at a friend's house.

Golden Sun may not have been as fun as Epic Yarn but it's a long game making it more worth the money I spent on it.

Meant the DSi, sorry
...And it happens August 11th
And it's quite the opposite; There's just not enough drive for some people to be bothered to get it... There's no excuse NOT to, just no excuse to. Does this sound as confusing as it feels? >.<

I understand what you're saying, there's not things bad enough to make people not want to get it but there's not enough good things to encourage them either, correct?

The problem is, is that the DS is still getting support and until it dries up people won't want to upgrade. Especially with the amazing back catolog of games the DS has.

This really sounds absolutely no different from the ability to use a GBA as a GameCube "controller". Or the DS as a Wii controller. Both of these combinations failed quite miserably in the marketplace, despite how innovative they were. The reason?

Cost. What were the chances that everyone who bought, say, Mario Party 8 would have both a Wii and a DS (let alone one for every player, leaving the Wii U multiplayer debate aside for now)? Requiring people to buy a $250 console, one or more $160 "controllers", and a $50 game on top (remember, pre-Wii and DS price drops) just to play a game was simply too great a risk for developers to take. Thus, very few Wii games actually took advantage of the system's connectivity to a DS, and none were designed to rely on the DS as a controller exclusively. I fail to understand why PS3-Vita connectivity will be any different, except that we're now dealing with a $300 console, a $250 "controller", and $60 games - further reducing the chances of every gamer having the combination of systems available.

The Wii U is different in that every single person who buys one will have the tablet controller. Therefore, it is far more feasible for developers to build their entire game around the controller, because everyone's gonna have it. I also wouldn't be worried about the controller consuming excessive amounts of power and compromising the graphical quality of the game - the Wii U is designed to do just that, and is definitely powerful enough to provide a great image on both screens.

Sounds like Sony trying to smooth-talk their way out of this once again instead of admitting that they've got a worthy competitor.

What are you even talking about, there was no mention of multiplayer in the quote? The Gameboy Advance cannot be compared to the Vita in any way, one of the reasons it failed is the Gameboy advance is worser than the GameCube's own controller so who would exactly want to use it? The Vita is better than the PS3 controller in the fact that not only does it have the controls of the PS3 controller it has got a lot more as well.

Just don't know what you're getting at.
