Considering the only big game on the system is Professor Layton and Nintendogs + Catz, which sales seem to point toward a truth of people preferring dogs but I digress, it isn't a shock that some DS owners aren't in a rush to get this system. Especially since little more then a year ago, a whole mess of them plopped money down to buy DSi systems.

I'd be more worried if they didn't get a decent sized push once games like Resident Evil, Tales of Abyss, Mario Kart and a few others notables already announced dropped.

Not expecting much from Kid Icarus or Legend of Zelda OoT 3D because both those franchises seem to be more American babies then anything.

Nope! The psp still is. Try again next week and try your 3ds ruling the world next year too. Are you the same person who stupidly predicted 300 million 3ds lifetimem
