Today thanks to a solid games library the 3DS is the most popular portable game console.Ī few variants of the 3DS exist. Sales of the 3DS were lackluster in the beginning, partly due to its high launch price, which caused Nintendo to drop the price by a third only a few months after launch. Its main competitor is the PlayStation Vita from Sony.
The 3DS is backward-compatible with the DS and DSi. It can display stereoscopic 3D effects without the use of 3D glasses. The Nintendo 3DS is a portable game console produced by Nintendo and released in 2011.
