According to EA executive John Schappert anyway:
“I think it’s a great E3 for the industry. Normally, you come here and there’s one hardware surprise, and I can’t think of another E3 where everyone’s surprising in a positive way. And they’re positive surprises. It’s not like, ‘Yeah, they did that but I don’t know about that.’ Every one of [these new technologies] is cool. The 3DS is just incredibly cool. The 3DS is magical. You put that in your hand, you look down, and all of a sudden it’s in 3D without glasses. That’s an amazing experience. I’m a huge fan. I think that device is going to sell like hot cakes. I think it’s going to do incredibly well, and in typical Nintendo fashion they have re-energized the industry, yet again. I give them nothing but credit and we are excited to be supporting that platform with Madden, FIFA, and The Sims that we announced.”
We have to agree with him. The DS wasn’t this well received when it was announced as Nintendo hadn’t proved itself with the ‘novelty’ handheld and Sony were thought to be taking the right path with PSP. We all know how that turned out and the amount of support and praise from developers so far for 3DS is staggering. Surely it can only sell by the bucket load?
