Why the 2DS makes sense but ruins it with the name

Much has been said about the recently announced Nintendo 2DS. Criticism vain since the design, the name and the lack of some features, but some critics also acknowledge that and a console that has a space in the market, a view I share. Nintendo's strategy pareceser simple, offering a model of the 3DS who have not had it, eliminating a good deal of trouble in the process. One of the problems facing the 3DS from the beginning and the lack of public more joivem has always been your greatest asset and we had to get a little off due to not advise the use of 3D technology.

Good for little kids, but it looks butt ugly.

I'd rather just pay the extra $40 for the portability and style of the clamshell.

Black Ops still holding off Red Dead, interesting. Crazy to think that Mario Party almost sold as much as Red Dead did.

Nintendo hardware up.. Playstation hardware down..

Software numbers definitely seem low this week overall.

michellelynn09762418d ago

The Switch hardware will continue to go up.

Two PS4 games in Top 2.

Call of Duty soon 500k.
Spider-Man next week 300k.

Sony is publisher for Call of Duty in Japan.

Call of Duty and RDR2 combined sold better than every Switch title combined.

michellelynn09762417d ago (Edited 2417d ago )

Yet, who had the most in there. Oops you always make it a petty competition don't you?
And, that's ok. Pomemon and Smash are coming. And, even with the top 2 selling games, the ps4 can't beat the Switch. How sad is that?
And you want to play this game? Tell me how well GOW did? Compare Spidey to Splatoon 2.

Neonridr2417d ago (Edited 2417d ago )

3rd party games.. lol. Something to be proud of I guess Lime. Spiderman has sold 300k.. wow. Mario Party has already broken that and will end up with more sales. Christ, Spiderman was outsold by 3 Switch games that came out in 2017.

Funny how you have to say top 2 are PS4 games, because the next 5 titles are Switch games and had 6 out of the top 10 and 11 of the top 20 titles. You know that's your only leverage.

You are a strange little person, indeed. You pull out the weirdest facts to sell some narrative that doesn't exist. Switch has sold more software and hardware in Japan than the PS4 this year, and will soon pass the PS4 in limetime sales in Japan. Then what will you have to hold on to?

Red Dead didn't do that great in Japan and the Switch went up in sales. Probably from people getting excited over Pokemon Let's Go. Dragon Ball Fighterz is still hanging in there. Good for it.

"Red Dead didn't do that great in Japan"

What about Call of Duty and Spidey?

"Dragon Ball Fighterz is still hanging in there. Good for it."

Switch version LTD are lower than first week sales of PS4 version.

michellelynn09762417d ago (Edited 2417d ago )

Yet it is still selling. How insecure can you be? Spidey and COD did well I am not being childish about it. A lot of PS4 games have done well as of late. I can be grown up about it and not be so insecure, and tough, DBFZ is hanging in. Sorry to disappoint you, but others besides Sony do well.
You can't be happy just for your company, you always gotta drag others down. How sad is that?

The PS4 is starting to hit the ceiling in sale. Alot of people have already owned one.

13/20 are Switch titles, 16/20 are on Nintendo hardware. Japan really loves the Switch right now.

Razzer2501d ago (Edited 2501d ago )

Japan has always loved Nintendo handhelds. Hybrids too, it would seem.

But, but Switch sales are slowing. Yeah, not really.

Razzer2501d ago

I doubt anyone has claimed Switch sales have slowed in Japan. But please.....show me.

The guy who bet against Nintendo?

Gemmol2501d ago

many articles if you look at npd result in april, may and june, thats 3 articles alone......then you have the random switch bashing articles that come every month and you will see a few posters there.......

as you can see from monster hunter release on ps4 the comment section for mediacreate got less and less with splatoon keep winning each week.......they fully disappear in april when monster hunter stop charting for the ps4.......they realize japan is lost to nintendo no matter what game comes out on ps4.......they not showing up is them showing the white flag.......they hold onto npd and uk charts now since sony lost japan

Kribwalker2501d ago

Nintendo domination over the rising sun nation, consistently this year.

ZeekQuattro2501d ago

The fact that Splatoon 2 has clawed its way back up to the 2nd spot is crazy. Its Japan's GTA. It stays in the top 10. At this point I wouldn't be shocked if it doesn't stayed there for at least another year. Maybe even until 3 comes out.
