Nintendo's next console

[yomomma1]

No. Nintendo was not the first to do all of those things.

Nintendo is, however the first to popularize and actually make the technology work.

I seriously doubt Nintendo will be bringing out a new console for quite some time. Also the 3ds is visually on par with PSP. Just throwing that out there. It's not a bad thing!

The difference is, just in case you haven't heard, IT'S 3D WITHOUT GLASSES! Also, there are so many great games coming to 3DS.

Could you please elaborate and tell me who was the first to do these things...

Nintendo really does do original stuff with most of their systems, then other companies just copy. I really don't see how someone can just not like Nintendo.


A/B Buttons
Analog Sticks

Shoulder Buttons

Yup, I think so...

X/Y Buttons

Like with A/B buttons above, there were previous consoles with two primary and/or two secondary buttons - sometimes they even had 6 buttons, 8 buttons etc. Or are you giving Nintendo some kind of kudos for assigning them these letters?

RF Wireless Controllers

Motion Control

3D without Glasses

Done previously, by Nintendo, with the Virtual Boy!

Yeah, a disc has a significantly lower ratio of storage space to price than a cart does. I know that flash memory (what I assume a modern cart would utilize) can operate at considerably faster speeds than optical storage can, but it costs about 10 times as much to manufacture.

grr. CDs are so fragile.
