Why are people buying the 3DS, for the games or for the 3D effect?

it's because with the introduction of the nintendo 3ds support for the original will dwindle to nothing and the 3d effect is cool but not as cool as real d 3d if you are not into 3d than you should wait on tell the fourth quarter of this year and buy a sony next generation portable a.k.a ngp it will be on par with the ps3 in all ways but two the game is on a memory card and has a tuch screen and tuch pad
