The Nintendo 3DS Is Back On Track, Says Nintendo

That makes sense.

Initially a disappointment, Nintendo's 3DS (a 3-D handheld videogame console) is now selling better. The new found momentum of the 3DS is spurred, in part, by deep price cutting - by 40% in August 2011 (the console was released in February 2011).  The main reason that Nintendo can now brag about over 4 million units sold, however, is that there are finally some decent games available for play on it.



Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land ushered to market by Shigeru Miyamoto have had a huge impact on 3DS sales. Sales of these games rate among the best in Nintendo's history. Miyamoto, the legendary game developer, led the modern video game era with games such as Donkey Kong, Mario, and Zelda. He acknowledges that the titles should have been released at the same time the 3DS was launched.

Note: No glasses are required to play 3-D games on the the 3DS.

Something else I learned: 3D technology can be visually stressful.
