>>29311122A 3ds fits in a coat pocket, which is what appeals to me, it means I don't need to stick it in a bag or carry anything but the 3ds and the charger if I want to head out somewhere else.
It's just not portable enough for my liking, it would have to be pretty powerful to justify being so big and meaty.
It's a good concept but if it ends up being behind in terms of power within a year (like most nintendo consoles) then 3rd party support will slow down too.
Microshit and Sony are already into making machines for 4k gaming and Nintendo are floundering around trying to mash a 3ds and a WiiU together in the hopes that people who like their portable stuff will buy their toaster oven of a console because all their favourite portable titles are now forced on to this frankenstien's monster.
