Dreamcast has actually set the basis for consoles we have today, motion control, online, in game screens on pad.

It was actually the greatest console of all time and nobody knew it :x

Sega's own Western released JRPGs were better than the PlayStation's up to that point.

What does the screen have to do with motion control? He was talking about the fishing rod you could use with Soul Calibur and the Sambe De Amigo maracas.

Skies of Arcadia is pretty much the greatest JRPG ever made.

Their profits have been falling for a wee while now from the impact the iphone has had on sales of the 3ds, so they need to make this worth it. Too old and wise to strawberry float up surely.

What impact? The 3DS has sold twice as many as the DS did at this point!

Because of a huge price cut.

I never said it wasn't. Timeghost suggested that 3DS isn't selling well. I'm pointing out that it is. People give the iPhone too much credit. It's expanding the market, not eating it. Total market share goes down, but sales can still continue to increase, all it means is that the market is getting bigger.

Of course, I have my doubts as to whether the iPhone should even count. Mobile phones have had games on since 1998, yet we never called the Nokia 3210 a gaming machine.

I don't think any game on the 3210 ever sold 12 million copies.

The 3210 sold around 150 million handsets. Snake was on all of them.

I know you're doing your very best to be intentionally dense, but I don't think anyone with any sense bought a 3210 because Snake was on it.
