Seriously, I've heard people ask me, "Have you heard about the 3DS? It has 3D WITHOUT glasses! Isn't that cool?" Have they been under a rock this past year?

There was this one person the other day in my Comp 1 class looking up things to write a report about, and he was like, "Wow! Look at this: They've invented something with which you can see 3D without glasses!"
My reaction: >_____>

This is the mainstream audience...

Guys, just cuz the mainstream doesn't follow game tech like you do doesn't mean they just crawled out of a rock. That's saved for more...mainstream things.

@cyphid I thought game preorders guaranteed you get the game at launch. I mean you paid the deposit and everything right? It sounds pretty unfair that they'd give your copy to someone else.

@JesusSaves Is that 4 million figure including preorders? I wonder how many preorders have been placed. Yeah, I don't think the 3DS will sell as fast as the DS or Wii did considering the price. Chart time!

Note that the chart doesn't account for inflation.

EDIT: Well according to DollarTimes.com, a $90 Game Boy in 1989 would have been worth $161.29 of today's dollars.

Excuse me! Whar is thar GameBoy Advance SP? And Gameboy Micro.. And the Gameboy Pocket and Gameboy Color D:

I don't see why the shortages would be as bad as the ones in Japan for several reasons. First of all, Nintendo would've had 2 additional months of manufacturing time come launch day. Also, Nintendo is based in Japan. This means that they're more widspread there. That also has to do with advertising. I'm sure that there are way more 3DS ads in Japan than Europe or the US. As a matter of fact, I have yet to have even heard about the 3DS on any mainstream media. Obviously there will still most likely be shortages, but not as bad (or atleast I hope not) However, I know I'll be picking mine up at midnight on launch day regardless.

Odds are that the 3DS will be sold out within the first week (in the US at least) if the DS/Wii shortages from long ago were any indication

Wait, you mean it plays games in 3D? Hmm... 3Ds. Oh. I get it now! I'm assuming you need glasses to see the 3d effects?

This is a signature.

I hope there is a midnight launch for the 3DS @ my Gamestop. It would be the FIRST time I go to a midnight launch- as well as the first time I ever pre-ordered a console and the first time I get a console on launch day. Dang.. Lotsa pressure on me... Not really
