Hands on with Nintendo 3DS


	Quote: When Nintendo invited us last week to an event to show off its three dimensional portable gaming console, the 3DS, I wasn't as excited as I should have been. A Nintendo fan since my first Duckhunt, I'd be lying if I said I was uninterested, but apart from a World Cup match in the cinema, 3D technology has never impressed me.

There is no point in buying a device if there are not the games around that you want for it. If they cannot solve that problem then why buy it in the first place?

It's difficult:
More games == more users
More users == more games
If the users are there, why should developers develop for the platform? If the games aren't there, why should users move to the platform...
