The troubles that the 3DS faces now are part of a much bigger malaise that threatens to choke the life from the medium you love. Do you think PS Vita is going to fare much better in the U.S.? Do you think Wii U and PlayStation 4 and Xbox Whateverthehelltheycallit are going to have better luck when they launch? I have my doubts. The fizzling of the 3DS is another sign that what you think of as "real" games are heading out to pasture, and that at the current rate the entire market will consist entirely of free-to-play multiplayer games, hyper-linear military-themed first-person shooters, Facebook games, and the latest flavor of flash-in-the-pan music/dance hit being milked to death as quickly as possible by whichever publisher was lucky enough to stumble onto it. That's not really cause for celebration.

Right now, Zynga has the highest theoretical market value of any game publisher -- in fact, I've seen a Zynga IPO estimated at $20 billion, which I'd guess is roughly the value of the rest of the games industry rolled into one. Meaning the best way to rake in money with video games is currently to build a Skinner box bearing a superficial resemblance to a game in order to annoy every high school acquaintance who friended you on FaceBook. Viva the future, eh?
