How does it make someone retarded if they didn't pay attention to the announcement? Considering they were releasing several different rehashes of the DS, the 3DS sounded like the same thing only with 3D.
And yes it does matter. I myself don't play other handheld games besides Pokemon, and I had no reason to buy a 3DS. It seemed more likely to me that they would wait a little longer for another generation.
For all some people knew, it could have been years before a main-series game was released for the 3DS. What's wrong with not wanting to spend your money?
