[quote name='joeposh']That's silly... I consider myself a pretty loyal Nintendo fan (the GC is the only current gen console I own, and I've owned every other Nintendo console minus the virtual boy) and even I can admit that the Micro's sales have amounted to a pretty big belly flop in the states thus far. It's a neat little device, but the pricing structure is retarded considering they upgraded the SP screens as well (which was the major selling point of the micro in my mind) and yet still sell it for significantly less than the micro.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I like the micro and wouldn't mind getting one, but those backlit SPs are cheaper and have a larger screen. They really kickass.
I think when the Famicom Micros hit the states (supposedly on Dec. 4 but we'll see) they'll sell quite well. But thus far, I think Nintendo diluted the Micro's appeal by releasing the backlit SPs around the same time as the Micros.
Of course, I doubt Nintendo's crying too hard. People are buying one type of Nintendo hardware over another type of Nintendo hardware. I'm guessing they're not too upset about that. From what I can tell, the new backlit SPs are really flying off the shelves this season.
