Nintendo Chief: Consumers Don't Understand 3DS Yet

Posted by Soulskill on from the buy-our-stuff-or-you're-stupid dept.

gabbo529 writes "Nintendo's latest financial results reveal that initial sales for their portable 3D gaming system have been underwhelming at best. What's the reason? Nintendo chief executive Satoru Iwata says consumers have yet to fully understand the console's 3D capabilities, even when trying it out. Others think it might have something to do with the console's high price ($250) and the lack of big-name titles available (Mario and Zelda are not yet out)."

    I've yet to see anyone who tries the 3ds and ISN'T immediately impressed with it.

    Well I wasn't.

    Maybe. But he can't see you.
