That’s the eternal question many of you may be asking, should I buy a Nintendo 3DS right now or should I wait?
Well, that depends (obviously) on your economical situation and other factors, but let’s see which are the main advantages and disadvantages of buying a Nintendo 3DS right now
"The sudden closure of several video-game studios at Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox division was the result of a widespread cost-cutting initiative that still isn’t finished.
This week, Xbox began offering voluntary severance agreements to producers, quality assurance testers and other staff at ZeniMax, which it purchased in 2020 for $7.5 billion, according to people familiar with the company’s plans. Others across the Xbox organization have been told that more cuts are on the way.
Speaking about the closures more broadly, Booty said that the company’s studios had been spread too thin — like “peanut butter on bread” — and that leaders across the division had felt understaffed. They decided to close these studios to free up resources elsewhere, he said.
Game Pass has not seen the massive growth that Xbox boss Phil Spencer may have been hoping for."

So what you're saying is...you bought all these studios and you guys can't run them.
Jesus.
Reports are suggesting that Game Pass will be getting a price hike soon and that Call of Duty may not be added to the day one offering. I honestly have a hard time believing this but it does beg the question why exactly did GP fail? I think the answer is that it just didn't get the growth that it anticipated. Jim was right but I wish he wasn't because at the end of the day, its gamers, devs and other front-line workers who have to absorb the blow for Spencer and team's miscalculations.
For all the armchair executives who were calling for Sony to release its big-budget AAA games on PS+, the same exact thing would have happened at PlayStation. Game Pass has killed Xbox. Congrats.

I bought it, loving SSFIV and Ghost Recon and all the features that come with the thing can make me wait till May when we get the eShop then only one month after that we get Ocarina of Time and The Mercenaries.
Why would anybody buy a 3DS when the NGP comes out later this year? With all these problems with the 3ds. This handheld is gone to be flop. I hope Sony is watching the mistakes nintendo is making. I don't want the NGP to fail
Strictly speaking it's always a good idea to wait for a console to settle in. Paying 599$ for a PS3 was eventually worth it, but it didn't fully kick off before the price was dramastically lowered. Waiting for the competition to arrive would of course be wise if you're considering both, but if you're really enthusiastic to get your hands on the 3DS then go right ahead. Nice article as it does say pretty much that.
I'll wait until I see if there is any game I would play on it, I want to see more about Mario but haven't heard anything.
Plus not really into the 3D on the 3DS.
I have a 3DS.
You should all wait. Not only do I not play in 3D anymore, but I'm back to mostly iPhone games.
It's a good system, but it's not worth trading in an older DS for yet.
I'm selling mine to a friend. I'm just tired of playing rehashes. : /
NGP is reserved and I couldn't be happier. ^_^
