The nintendo 3ds has sold twice as much as the DS. I knew this was going to happen once the great new games were released and after the price cut. But, I think the games played a more important role in the increased sales than the price cut.

I am surprised it has doubled the DS though, I thought the DS was pretty good and seemed popular...

What do you think about this news?

This is surprising, as I know a lot of people who haven't bought the 3DS because there's no need to. I'm one of those people too. Though I guess there are some good 3DS games out and people want them badly, based on this report.

I feel like this number will increase by a lot since Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion are coming out on the 3ds. Those two games alone warrant a purchase of the 3ds.

Did you get this from an article? Link if you have it. :p

I don't get why everything "has" to be in 3d. Guess it just makes them more money..

I kinda get out from searching around the internet, but IGN has an article about it if you would like to see it. And the game doesn't have to be played in 3d, you can turn the 3d off.

because of all the great new games that are available on it, and because you have the option to put it in 3d.

I'm not surprised its more popular than the DS. With the fact that we can go online and stuff with it.
