XiaoMay# In june zelda will release but then it's just a remake too but will probably push the hardware numbers.

3DS needs a system seller to drive the hardware up and then it will ALSO profit to third party...

When is the next big game (Nintendo or anything else) on 3DS ??? I don't see ANY blockbuster coming soon...

I guess it's because of the PSP supply constrain. But still, it's good that 3DS is on top again despite of its lack of new great games until now.
