A friend just showed me an interesting article:

So if Nintendo really thought of 3D back in 2001, could it be that everything Nintendo did up until now was part of a bigger plan? I think it could be!^^

Releasing the Wii and DS for casual gamers and slowly gain profit, waiting till 3D technology matures and making Sony and Microsoft believe Nintendo is no threat to the hardcore gamer audience.

Then after technology matured and they gained enough funds to safely develop 3D technology on a handheld they strike out of nowhere with all major publishers and
game series on board, like Metal Gear Solid, Dead or Alive etc...

Sure it's only my theory but if it's true Nintendo is even more awesome then ever

i think that's a little too cold and calculating for any company other than microsoft...

all current technology were developed years ago. even blu-ray prototype are way back the late 90's.

Makes sense...too much sense if you ask me >.>

I saw the 3DS and the games planned for it.
Despite my best efforts, and readying of my body...
MY BODY WAS STILL NOT READY ENOUGH

if there is't a market they can't sell these things,.. even when its already posible >?!

i don't think finding the market is the problem.... it's finding a cost effective solution to be able to get the product out at a decent price and bug free.....  look at dvd for example. they came out in the late 90s whereabouts and back then they would've cost around £20 (use a converter if you're uncomfortable with the sterling), maybe even more (and don't forget how much the players cost.....) now i could pop into Tesco's (for example) and buy a dvd player for the same price as the dvd's originally were and i could probably get around 5 DVD's for half that amount..... what wee used to think was cutting edge is on the brink of becoming obsolete after a relatively short period.....  

another example are HDTVs...... go back when they came out (6-7 years ago maybe :s) and they'd have cost you £5-6000.... couple years ago my parents bought me a 42" LCD for around £1400.... a year later they bought the exact same tv for around £900.....  and by now you could probably get a decent TV for around £500

basically if people can't afford your product it won't sell.... i guess the above examples are things that did manage to survive but i doubt whether the 3ds would've lasted long if it was released back then.... (look at what happened to sega... and think about nintendo's 'dual disk system' for the n64......)
