Nintendo's CEO pleading with consumers to buy 3DS.

Not a good sign.

that isn't what i read. he is pleading for people to be patient. he is asking early adopters to wait for better games (November, December). nowhere did i read that he was begging people to buy the handheld. he also showed regret for not launching the system with better games.

It looks like you might have took my comment it bit out of context. I didn't say Iwata is begging people to buy 3DS, I was saying that Iwata is pleading for people to invest in 3DS that he's asking consumers to bear with him and give the handheld more time.

I personally have nothing against the 3DS and don't think its a failure.(Its got plenty of time and potentional to
establish itself) but this should be a wakeup call to Nintendo that they need to seriously change thier stubborn attitude towards adapting techology. Its the same attitude that turned me off of Gamecube with Nintendo giving the middle finger to online gaming.

Nintendo needs to go back to the drawing board with 3DS, they need to quickly and hurridly release a smartphone design or else 3DS may not fare well against PS Vita and KIDS PAD.

Besides, 3DS doesn't even have any killer app releases, at least not yet.

that is exactly why he was regretting releasing it to early. he wanted to release one of Nintendos big IPs with the console.
