[ { "body": "Handheld aren't dying, they're about as alive as they always were. Let's look at some details.\n\nThe DS came out in 2004 as the successor to the Game Boy and did fairly well. The Game Boys had been a phenomenal success for Nintendo, selling 200 million units over the course of 23 years now. The Game Boy Advance models alone had sold about 81 million units as of 2009. Pokemon and Golden Sun were extremely popular mainstream games and pretty much everyone with a Game Boy had either or both of those games.\n\nThe DS releases at the end of 2004 and sells almost 3 million units by the end of the year. By the time the DS Lite is release in 2005, it sells about 15 million units. The DS Lite is where the system really gets popular. Within a year, sales skyrocket to 40 million. By the time the next DS model, the DSi came out, the total DS sales are approaching 90 million. The DS Lite had basically sold as many units in two years as the Game Boy Advance series had in eight.\n\nI made some graphs to show you how popular the DS model sales have been. We can get a good amount of info from it.\n\n[All DS Model sales (NOT INCLUDING 3DS)](http://i.imgur.com/EOJ4a.png) \n[Individual Model Sales as of June 2012 (NOT INCLUDING 3DS)](http://i.imgur.com/6gfrj.png)\n\nNote: Gaps in charts caused by incomplete/unreleased data, accuracy of release date lines may waver by a few weeks.\n\nYou can see how incredibly popular the DS Lite was here. It's pretty much safe to assume that every DS sold between the release of the DS Lite and the release of the DSi was a DS Lite and the vanilla DS was pretty much dead. Stores stopped carrying it when the DS Lite came out. \n\nYou can see the DS Lite sales only start to slow down when the DSi is released, but only barely. It's still incredibly popular. It appears that shortly before the DSi XL is released that it slows down almost to a crawl. Hell, Japan pretty much stops buying DS units once the XL is released because shortly after, at the end of June 2010, the 3DS is announced. Once the 3DS releases, Japan effectively stops buying any more DS units at all while the rest of the world sees a very small increase. The DS Lite barely sells somewhere between Jan 2010 and June 2011.\n\nThe DS line in general sells very well until the 3DS is released. To date, there have been 150 million DS units sold, in just eight years. Almost 100 million of those are just the DS Lite (after subtracting the total number of DSi/XL/DS sold from the total, which are 27, 12, 15 million respectively.). The DS Lite is pretty much the most popular handheld ever. We'll consider it the apex of handhelds so far.\n\nBut let's look at those DSi and DSi XL sales. 27 million DSi sales. 6 million of those are from Japan. 12 million DSi XL sales. Only 2 million from Japan. Japan pretty much stopped buying DS units after the DSi XL was released. The rest of the world slows down after the 3DS is released. So what happens then?\n\nThe 3DS (including the XL) has sold 19 million units to date. The DS Lite, in the same amount of time, sold 29 million. The system has massively outsold the DSi XL and is well on track to taking out the DSi, which took three years to reach where it is now. The 3DS is 2/3 of the way there in one. And the distributed sold units are spread almost evenly between Japan, North America and the rest of the world.\n\nSo what can we get from this? The 3DS is Nintendo's second fastest selling handheld after the DS Lite, from back in 2006. It's caused a resurgence in Japanese interest in handhelds after everything after the DS Lite failed to sell nearly as well. \n\nBasically, handhelds haven't slowed down due to waning popularity, they've simply stopped being talked about because everyone that wants one has one. This isn't even accounting for PSP and PS VITA users (which account for another 73 million total--the PS VITA has sold about 2 million since its release early this year). \n\nHowever, I can point out a number of problems with the handheld market right now:\n\n1) Handheld games get almost no press compared to console titles and smartphone app games. There are entire blogs dedicated to both but I have yet to see one popular one about 3DS/PSP/PS VITA titles. \n\n2) The in-store selection for games are usually barebones, outdated and rarely managed. I worked retail for six years and never once did the handheld games get nearly as much attention from vendors/stockers/management as the console games. The only ones more ignored were PC games. \n\n3) Handheld games sell like crazy during Christmas but nobody knows what to buy. This usually ends up with people buying the cheapest or best known games (which is why all Mario games and PetZ sell so well).\n\n4) Multiple versions of consoles. The PSP had about five different packs on sale at once and there were always DS Lites, DSi's and DSi XL's on sale, in plenty of different variations each. People usually got confused about which they needed or wanted. Some ended up taking the DS Lite because it was cheapest, some went with the XL because it was the latest. I can't think of a single time in the dozens of DSi XL sales I made where someone bought it for the original purpose--an easier to see screen.\n\n5) Price. Apps are usually $1 or $2. People already have smartphones so they don't consider the system fee. Handheld consoles are at least $120 to enter into and another $30-40 per game. It's a definite barrier to entry for a console that people see as inferior (quantity wise, not quality wise) to console/PC games.\n\nEDIT for missing words and to correct a fact (DSL sells in 2 years what GBA did in 8, not 3)", "score": 73 }, { "body": "I don't think it's been destroyed, no. But I think the games for those devices are not as thoroughly emphasized. \n\nHere's the thing, a lot of non-core gamers use phone games. Why? Because it's easier, and faster. I even have phone games (2) but I don't really play them. However, phone games are lacking in SO many aspects it's not even funny. Which is why I'm buying a DS.\n\nSo what about the DS? Well, there are a few issues that the 3DS needs to work on which phones provide:\n\n* game price - phone games are $1-$5 a piece. Not because they were cheaply made but because there are a ton of indie developers. Which brings me to my next point\n* easy entrance for indie developers - indie games = easy fun and creative games. It also means more games at cheaper prices. Does this mean we should eliminate the top-selling games like Pokemon? Hell no. Those will still draw people in but the indie games will provide much-needed variety and another outlet for cash. You may not drop $50 on a game today but you may drop $5 on an indie game today and $5 for another tomorrow and so on.\n* downloadable games - The phones do away with \"cartridges\", \"SD cards\" and whatever else. I think that if I had a 3DS, it should have 16gb of storage and allow me to have like 5 games on it without an issue. \n* phones are integrated into the society - the 3DS can't do much about it. Everyone needs a phone. if you're faced with a decision of phone vs 3ds, you go with phone because you need it. \n\nAnyways, I could make a million other points but in the end, I don't think phones will replace handheld gaming just yet but I do think the 3ds needs to borrow a ton from phones like the internal memory for games, perhaps even a 3ds app market, easy entrance for devs, and so on.\n", "score": 6 }, { "body": "The hell, am I on r/gaming or something?

While I was initially put off my the relatively steep initial investment, the math quickly made sense after I figured I could grow ounces of high-quality bud for a fraction of the price at which I was already buying it. I spent months researching how to grow, what equipment I'd need to get started and I scoured r/microgrowery like there was no tomorrow.\n\nWhile this didn't prevent me from making plenty of beginner mistakes (overwatering, anyone?) I was able to successfully leap a few hurdles that I often see trip up other beginning growers. If I had to boil down my existing advice into a few bullet points, it would be:\n\n- Read all you can, and when you think you're done, go back and do it again. While there's no substitute for experience, knowledge can help you avoid many simple mistakes.\n- Don't be afraid to ask questions, but be bold enough to look for the answers yourself, first.\n- MOST IMPORTANTLY, follow the urban farmer's creedo: don't smell, don't sell, don't tell. Most of us aren't fortunate enough to live in MMJ friendly territory.\n\nedit: added links, including this album to [pics from my first grow](http://imgur.com/a/NHpAZ)! Note this is an example of how you should NOT do things with regard to the plant-to-light ratio. I had a total of three plants under that CFL fixture, which was not nearly enough light. In all, my initial investment was on the cheap, and around $300 when everything was said and done. That's about as cheap as you can get while still working with materials of reasonable quality, but considering how in my area an ounce of high quality bud goes for about $400, it was well worth the cost. In case you're curious, I yielded about 33 grams from my first grow (3 plants), and expect to get that much or more my second time around (1 plant).\n", "score": 25 }, { "body": "**Growing Experience:** First grow, nearing my first harvest\n\n**Currently Growing:** two paraguayan bagseed that recovered from brick weed; one Auto Fast Bud from Sweet Seeds. \n\n**Recent pictures:** [**Paraguay 1**](http://i.imgur.com/2oMJT.jpg), [**Paraguay 2**](http://i.imgur.com/cp72W.jpg), [**Auto Fast Bud**](http://i.imgur.com/um4Mt.jpg)\n\n**Equipment:**\n[**Space Buckets**](http://i.imgur.com/4tRr0.jpg).

I take a bud and rub the tip of my nose gently on the side bud leaves to release terpenes (smell molecules) and get a strong shot in the face of spicy Jack smell. Sannie did a fantastic job of reproducing Jack Herer in these seeds. Kilo is the most sativa of the two Jacks. Her buds started filling in much later than Whiskey's, and they are still more airy. I feel that she is going to fill in a lot in coming weeks and harvest a week or two after the rest of the plants. She will be a foxtaily mess when I harvest her. She has a few weird deformed leaves that seem to web towards the stem like the duckfoot leaves we've been seeing on MG recently. If you are wondering about the shape of these two Jack Herer colas, I used about 3 oz of fishing sinkers to weight them down in early flower. I removed the weights after a week and they retained their shape since then. This made the main colas bend away from the center of the tent, keeping them shorter and from blocking the central light source.\n* [Whiskey](http://imgur.com/a/T6ItD#7) She's got the plumpest buds of the bunch right now, and still has 3-5 weeks to go :) She smells the same as Kilo, and even her side buds are plumping up to a good size. The trichomes on her are growing in thick and dense fields, second only to Echo right now.\n\nKilling Fields: \n\n* [November (pink)](http://i.imgur.com/pJByr.jpg). She's a nice bright pink. She's got the narrowest main cola but the fullest side growth. She smells just like dried Jack Herer only much stronger because she's still growing :) She has 4+ weeks to go as well...\n* [Echo (mostly green but definitely some pink... she's in the back behind the purple)](http://i.imgur.com/wnOxb.jpg). Echo had an early cal-mag deficiency that has left some light green mottling on the topmost fan leaves. It's actually pretty cool looking but as miss on my part. She was the only plant who was ever very hungry for cal-mag. The rest were happy with what they got. I see the value in learning the needs of one individual and perpetually growing clones of it. When you grow from seed you see a lot more variety than you expect :) Dealing with the variety can be interesting or challenging or beautiful (take the colors that came from one batch of Killing Fields seeds for example) or all of the above. Echo's trichomes form a thick shiny blanket on many of her buds. Nothing has gone cloudy on any of these girls yet.\n* [Sierra (purple as fuck)](http://i.imgur.com/vhLqB.jpg) My favorite in terms of color, Sierra bulked up REALLY FAST. She was originally the wimp of the bunch. See my first update submission (link at bottom)... she looked like shit compared to the others. Now her leaves are still not the best looking and there aren't very many leaves, but there's a mass of purple bud to make up for it. She has the best leaf-to-bud ratio of all of my plants, and the nicest color too. Her smell is like Jack Herer with fruit. It's shockingly sweet. Her trichomes haven't come in to the degree that the others' trichomes have yet, but I think they will. I wish everyone could try her when she is harvested, but you can't.
