Poor gimmicks should not be encouraged.

Nothing wrong with a 3DS.

Just because it has gimmicks doesn't mean I shouldn't get to play installments of my favorite series.

Was wondering how long it would take for Vlado to post this topic. I of course disagree with his "right" answer.

Probably not going to be a gimmick. DS's touch screen and the Wii's motion control were called gimmicks and at this point it's obvious that they aren't.

What are gimmicks to you

Motion controls, which Sony does

Or perhaps touchscreen, which Sony does

3D, which Sony does?

Sony doing it does not make it any less of a gimmick. 3D has no future whatsoever until full virtual reality.

Honestly speaking, the people who pick those last options that say "No and I would never want one" are complete and total morons most of the time, with this poll being no exception. The hardware has been out of like a year, so to have already decided that you're never going to get one, regardless of what games come out for it in the next few years makes you like... dumb as hell.

Again, not only talking about the 3DS here since I don't own one, and don't plan on buying one any time soon (even though they're only $119). Just pointing out how incredibly stupid it is to pick a poll option like that.

stop worrying about the future, man. just live in the present. The 3D effect isn't detracting from the games, and in some cases looks really nice. It's not like mind-blowing or anything, but it's not a reason to not purchase a 3DS.

According to this guy, it's stupid to think before spending your money instead of just buying anything in sight.

I think it's more just the quality of poll options rather than a real aversion to them. I have no intention to buy one, not because I think poorly of it, but because I haven't bought a handheld since the GBC, or a console since my PS2. Probably just the best option for people who aren't intending to buy it!

Not entirely, but that's where it's going. Some products are just not smart purchases, especially when there are so many alternatives available. There's no problem whatsoever with saying "yeah, I'll never need this."

Aye. Definitely exceptions to every rule. It just seems like there are way too many people that pick a side and then stick to it rather than just buying/playing what looks interesting. I mean there are people who still refuse to buy Blu-Rays because they "don't think that the format will last" or like those Sony guys who say they will NEVER buy a Microsoft console or vice-versa. It's just a dumb way to think.

Come on, do you actually believe most people answered the last option because they don't think "3DS won't last/there won't be games on 3DS in a few months" or something like that? I'm pretty sure most are aware that's not the case and just thought it wasn't a product they'd ever have use for. What's the problem with that?

I'm with you on picking a side/brand loyalty, it's not wise. I stick with Sony for now because the games I like are mostly on Sony's systems, not because I love them. If Metal Gear Solid 4 was an Xbox 360 exclusive, that's most likely the console I would've ended up buying.

While there are "smart" consumers who will buy them, sure. But real gamers have already said their piece regarding motion controls: they suck ass.

Wait, what exactly constitutes "full virtual reality"? I'd think 3D will only take off once somebody figures out holographic technology, i.e. Star Wars/Star Trek.

I can't believe the majority (plurality?) wouldn't buy a 3DS at any price. It already has a few good games. The 3D doesn't even work for me and it's now my main handheld mostly for download titles and such.

Wait

So because the system has an optional feature which makes most of its games look better and some easier to play, we shouldn't buy it?

It's silly to declare "I will definitely never buy this console, no matter what," when there's no telling what the future holds. Sure, the 3DS doesn't have any games that interest me now, but am I really going to say I won't buy one three years from now when I have no idea what's going to be out then?

Hell, the PS3 was completely worthless before 2008/2009 or so, and now it's by far the best console on the market, and most of the people I know who (foolishly) declared back in 2007/2008 that they would absolutely never buy one have bought one since then. >_>

This. I don't use the 3D effects, and I can still get full enjoyment out of my favorite series'.

I love how these topics are invariably awful yet people keep responding to them.

Can't we all just accept that Vlado has the worst opinions of all time and ignore his blatant trolling? Because that's what this is, whether or not he actually believes the stuff he's saying.

Because he's a sad individual in need of attention.

And the 3DS is fine, heck Nintendo pushes less the 3D than Sony even if they already have a console that has it as a working functionality.

The 3D is almost 100% optional so really who cares.
