Nintendo is Apparently Not Feeling Blue Anymore
Whenever I consider of Nintendo now, as in console colors, I think of blue. PlayStation has red, Xbox has green, and Nintendo has had a blue (and white I guess) theme since the Wii was launched. How ironic it is that they have decided to discontinue the blue Nintendo 3DS. That is, they’ve decided to kill of the blue 3DS in Japan. No official word to regardless of whether or not this will affect U.S. sales, but we can assume they’ll be gone fast if this selection is global.
The decision to get rid of the blue color is speculated to be triggered by poor sales of that certain color in Japan, but that is just what’s on the rumor mill. One issue is particular, if you have a blue a single now, you have a cool small piece of background and now Wikipedia is going to have to adjust their 3DS page.
