I wouldn't say that was "just adding a number to it" in the sense of numbering a sequence, but was instead just tacking on a descriptor that happened to be a number. DS-->3DS was conceptually no different from Gameboy-->Gameboy Colour. I was going for a witty jape that didn't quite land. adjl posted... The 3DS also suffered from some of the same marketing problems as the WiiU did, with a sizable number of less-informed customers thinking that it was just a new iteration of the DS with a 3D feature and not actually a new system altogether (much like many people thought the WiiU was just a tablet add-on for the Wii). Honestly, I think the 3DS's biggest issue out of the gate was just a dearth of must-have titles. Which is odd, because Nintendo's usually good for that. My launch-day buy was Bust-a-Move Universe, which wasn't even a particularly good BAM/Puzzle Bobble game. Beyond that you had, what, Steel Diver? Pilotwings Resort? The Sims 3 port? Street Fighter IV was the closest thing they had to a killer app and even that didn't really generate much buzz. Things started looking better towards the end of the year with Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land, but for a while the 3DS was mostly coasting on updated N64 games (OoT 3D, Starfox 64 3D) and the games lineup was painfully thin. It took a surprisingly long time for the 3DS to find its legs, game-wise. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
