This information comes from Reggie Fils-Aime…
“It certainly has been a reaction that has been a bit over the top. [Children 7 and above] can certainly enjoy the 3D features. We are convinced that the Nintendo 3DS is the next entertainment breakthrough. We think it’s going to set us apart.”
Reggie also responded to critics that believe Nintendo is in decline…
“Some so-called experts don’t understand how the maturation cycle works in this industry and the fact is, no one can sell 10 million units of any system year after year. Our competitors continue to be at a place of having to react to what we’ve done and not the other way around.”
