I remember before ds launched, everyone thought it was going to bomb. What the fuck was it? Two screens? Touch screen? What the fuck is THAT? Then psp was announced at TGS 2004, and it was like, welp. It's over. Nintendo is DOOMED! This was fresh off the Gamecube days btw.
Nintendo is always doomed.
And then they continue, time and time again, to surpass expectations.
Never underestimate Nintendo. I say this, and I'm not even an N-geek.
