"Back in March Nintendo's new 3DS handheld rode a wave of early anticipation and delivered record-breaking first day sales, but then things quickly stagnated. It wasn't hard to see why -- the system was overpriced, there weren't many games, key features like the eShop and 3D video hadn't been delivered yet, and Nintendo hadn't properly stamped down sensationalistic "the 3DS will eat your children's eyes!" stories. There wasn't anything wrong with the system itself -- those who actually bought it tended to dig it -- the launch had simply been poorly handled.
Don't tell that to folks who write about video games though! The 3DS was fundamentally broken! The 2nd coming of the Virtual Boy in fact. After a couple months of mediocre sales it was time for Nintendo to abandon it's entire business plan that had made them untold billions since the mid-80s and go 3rd party!
Then Nintendo lowered the price, released some good games and delivered those missing features and guess what? The system started to sell! In fact the 3DS is on track to sell significantly more units in its first year than the original DS.
So, shockingly Nintendo, a company that's been around for over 100-years, has avoided doom yet again. That is, until the Wii U comes out next year. That one's got Virtual Boy written all over it."
very true in regard to how the gaming "press" handle everything new or innovative...
