Watch out, Nintendrones, you've been PS-forewarned.

Reason: More EA crying/boohoo'ing, jalaneme will probably say another stupid statement, DSGamer64 will jump on board as well. Everyone will say "THEY DESERVE IT!" when they don't over companies like fucking Walmart. But since people on this site are self-centered bitches whose shallow lives only revolve around video games, they'll only think of EA and not of companies that truly do terrible things.

Let's add this to Gahar's lovely comparison:

Nintendo 3DS:
  • Released February 26th 2011
  • Price dropped after 5 months (July 28th 2011) aprox. 42% (from $249 to $169)
  • Revision released after a year (July 28th 2011)
Sony PSVita:
  • Released December 11th 2011
  • Price dropped after 14 months (February 28th 2013) by aprox. 20% and only in Japan (from ¥24,980 to ¥19,980)
  • No revision in sight despite various rumours
...are you taking notes, kids? :tpi:

Well, let's see...

  • Nintendo dropped the price and launched a revision, and the 3DS is selling like hotcakes
  • Sony kept the high price and there's no revision in sight, and the Vita is selling like cow pies

Duly noted.

:tpi:

I'm sure all the early adopters think along your lines and were in no way upset that the handheld they've just bought has been reduced by $80, not to mention that a bigger, better version of the same console with longer battery life and a higher-quality screen (bigger pixels lead to a more effective 3D effect) was released mere months after the original was. :tpi:

And what does that tell us, kids? Loyalty to the early adopters is detrimental to business success :tpi:

Like the ancient Vulcan proverb says, "the sales to the many outweigh the sales to the few". Or was it Ferengi?

No early adopters --> No sales --> No incentive for developers to develop games --> No sales redux
Early adopters --> Incentive to create revisions that make you feel buying the console was a bad idea

Damn, Economy! You scary!

But Foxi! Bigger pixels are BAD(!) because that means lower-quality graphics!

How will consumers handle such bullshit that Nintendo DARES(!) to push while FORCING(!) them to play the 3DS?
Be gone, you and your logical thinking! This is the EoF, don't mess with my trollbait! :angry:

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    He put it down when the 3ds came out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."
