Nintendo 3DS, One Year Later

[RCM]

So far, the 3DS is more popular than the DS during its first year. Why would developers abandon or ignore such a popular, best-selling platform?

It may be true that 3DS outsold DS in its first year, but I don't like Nintendo's implication. 3DS likely won't be able to touch the DS family's numbers, but what Nintendo is kind of saying is "Look, 3DS is DOING EVEN BETTER than DS!" I could be wrong, but I'm fairly certain DS didn't really become a sensation until its second or third year on the market. I'd be very surprised if it's significantly outselling the DS by then in terms of year 3 vs. year 3 numbers.
