So... Are handheld mobile devices like iPad and iPhone to blame or is it that most people don't give a shit about gimmicky 3D games? Personally I am in the latter camp. Not to mention all the news about people getting headaches probably isn't doing much to boost sales.As part of its latest financials, Nintendo has admitted that sales of the 3DS have disappointed across all regions and not just earthquake-hit Japan. Looking to ensure the success of the console, Nintendo has outlined some tactics it will use. These include, more chances to test out the 3DS, encouraging people to adjust the 3D depth slider and enhancement of 3D content. Essentially, Nintendo admit that there is no 'easy road' to encourage adoption, but there is clear intent to purchase the device from consumers, just not right now
And I realize they sold millions already. That's not the topic at hand!
