My biggest fear for the 3DS

I feel that the 3DS will be easily mistaken as just another DS design with the added gimmick(I don't think it is though) of 3D to most consumers who don't really read into games. I wish Nintendo would have at least went a little more bold with the design, and stepped further away from the DS. It looks great, but look at it hard enough and it just looks like another redesign.

Yea they could've changed the design more, sure the precise design isn't final but most of it will stay the same

they did a good job changing GBC from a slate looking device to GBA, then to clamshell with GBA SP

Maybe a sliding design for it? or a swivel top a la Sidekick cell phones?

Design is your biggest fear for the 3DS?

Well, anyone who walks into a gamestop or walmart, or target, or bestbuy will notice that the screen on the demo unit is jumping out at them pretty quickly.

3DS is super easy to market

and once the thing starts selling word of mouth will spread from everybody wanting to try it out

Don't worry im sure Nintendo will have a great marketing for the 3DS.
