Other issues are that Nintendo have stated that gamers should only play with 3D turned on for 30 minutes at a time.. Considering the console is coming with games such as Legend of Zelda and MGS that is just pointless.. The other failing is battery life at 4-5 hours on a single charge which might be fine for some, but others that get really into the longer games is going to be an annoyance..
The 3DS sounds like a good idea on paper, but I just don't think it will translate well at all. People will all be wowed by kiosks in stores at release but the second they see the price, spec sheet (battery life) and safety warnings they won't want to buy.
