1. I'm guessing yes. And stores in Japan have much cooler names than ours.

2. 2nd the above comment

   And seeing how the wii caused line after line at every single gaming store, I'm pretty sure that the same will happen for the 3DS

3. Doesn't sound unexpected to me. It's the sequal to the best selling console of all time…. It's gonna sell.

4. 3DS will be hard to find this year (if you haven't) reserved a unit already that is.

5. I hope that someone who buys a Japanese version will come here and tell us if it's possible to turn off the ugly upscaling and blur filter that the 3DS uses on DS games.

6. Shocking?! You're kidding, right?! 3DS sell out is totally expected!

7. Shocking News: Mattiac doens't understand sarcasm!

8. good thing I reserved mine last month

9. This just in. 3DS will be sold out around the world for the next 2 years. Lines will form in front of every store every time new stock arrives.

10. @James: I wasn't even aware that 3ds have higher dpi than DSi, which is nice. Also, having those display options is nice. Thank you for the info! I'm not sure what option I will use, since I really dislike the black borders, but having options is always good.

11. What a shocker…lol I'm kidding but I'm glad it's selling in japan right now but we all kind of knew it will sell in japan it's the rest of the world is going to be the main challenge…
