you;re right but somehow if they eliminate the older ds versions I'm prdicting that nintendo is going to have alot of problems

I'm not willing to upgrade despite the awesome graphics so they just better not make the stupid mistake of doing so because I'm not the only one who thinks this. There are still more people that support the older versions like me and if they kill off the ds market it will cause a major uproar and may end up disrupting nintendos balence and popualrity

I'm wondering how well Aliens: Infestion did by WayForward sales wise. I'm guessing pretty weak considering there are too many people out there willing to look past the Mario, Zelda & Metroid Brand name.

Forgot the upgraded graphics man, it's all about the 3D which is incredibly exciting and quite the game changer when done right. If it didn't have 3D i honestly wouldn't be too thrilled to even pick one up.....A graphical upgade does nothing for me, i need innovation bud! And the 3DS is 'Visual' innovation, as the touch screen has already been set in stone by the DS. There are also Gyro controls which are pretty cool, but for me they're rendered useless because they muck up the 3D effect.

Not sure if serious.

Every company does this. Infact apple and android do it all the time. All your DS stuff is still supported so make the jump,

Since a 3DS can do everything a DSi can do, Nintendo will probably happily let it be replaced by the 3DS.

So you think companies should still support older gaming systems like the NES, Super NES, N64, GameCube, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, GBA, DS, DSi, Sega Master System, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast, Game Gear, Xbox 1, PS1, PS2, etc. just because a few people don't want to upgrade?

I totally I agree with this your comment. Seriously, what company still supports the previous generation consoles? Nintendo, being an ever evolving behemoth of a company, knows what it's doing, if they decide to discontinue the Nintendo DS(i) line, then they did it for a good reason. Because, they are looking towards the future, always trying to make something that will succeed their previous console. How are they supposed to do that if people are unsure of the decisions that they are carrying out?

I guess it's normal 3ds will take the place of nds/dsi. It is called evolution =P
