Like I mentioned a while ago, they hadn't sent any emails since the 31st of December 2014, of which with all that we know, could be a couple of possibilities.

1. It'll be like one of the previous updates where they went incognito without any emails for 2 months.

2. They're done with the update and are tweaking the host servers to sustain the load.

3. They're doing the exploit on previous firmwares.

4. They're preventing copying of their tech.

5. They're procrastinating.

6. They've got a hangover.

7.They forgot.

They sold a lot of units the past six weeks. They are in Vegas burning through hookers and blow.

Indeed. God knows what Gateway does with their profits. One of the reasons why I bought mine used from someone here on GBATemp. Since that individual already purchased it, it's money Gateway got regardless if I had bought it from him or not. It's much better knowing my money went to a trustworthy individual and not a shadowy company that probably funds the Chinese Mafia or something. That and I'm still not happy with Gateway over their bricking fiasco. I still bought a Gateway, but not from a retailer that pays them. So I can have my cake and eat it too so to speak. :D

Well, originally they didn't market to kids here. I have some old Playboy magazines (don't judge me) with ads for the NES. I think eventually it became a "family" oriented system after they saw that kids wanted to play and, to be fair, characters like Mario appealed to children. Maybe not DESIGNED for them originally, but the design drew them in.

In the U.S., and some might say this is why so many parents are poor, gaming consoles are a "demand" of children. I'm not going to say if its right or wrong... I mean, again, I've been gaming for as long as I can remember. But I will say that one big reason -might- be Pokemon. What system does it target? Nintendo handhelds. What do kids want? Nintendo handhelds. Would it sell as well as it does without Pokemon? Debatable, but IMHO? Nope.

As for consoles becoming disposable tech? Definitely. While there are GameBoys in museums that have survived the lives of soldiers during the Gulf War (Anyone else remember that god-aweful "I'm proud to be an American" country song? Ick... It still haunts my head with propaganda.), now handheld consoles barely last ten years. Things burn out. BUT... there's kind of a reason? Intricate hardware dies more easily because it's just that. Smaller circuits, smaller parts, and the fact people WANT smaller and smaller hardware. The NES and Atari were advanced for their time, but they were VERY simplistic. Open up your 3DS (actually don't, bad idea). It has really advanced parts, delicate parts. Screens burn out more easily too. The GameBoy didn't have a backlight for example. Now they're LCDs and LEDs and, to be fair, these can burn out.

Cellphones, cameras, smart phones... even PCs. We live in the age of disposable hardware. I don't think companies are so much taking advantage of us, I think it's just the sacrifice we have to make for relatively affordable YET advanced hardware.

well I agree you in some parts but idk what wrong with NOA, starting for the last part: the nes was bigger than it sould! I know it have some improvements from the famicom like anti-piracy device , changeable controllers (not really a issue, wa not very hard to change on a famicon with instructions, but needed to open it :v) butwtaf the huge cart? why it's so big ? there are more air than circuit inside that XD what I mean is that NOA wanted to be different from original nintendo for some reason, and nowadays they keep this with them, this is why region locking is alive :/ (and sometimes looks like xenophobia for me ... even the way they treat the brazilian public... oh well)
and about propaganda, maybe kids are more open to new things ? Pokemon like you told, it was started for teens/mature , the first games had a strong "localizarion" *couf* censour*cough* to western public... xenophobic stuff like hiding that the game take place in japan, stupid thing like making a man that was fallen drunk, was fallen for not drinking coffe , other cultural stuff... oh I almost lost the subject here XD , so well, to make children interested in pokemon, started the anime ... the USA used the anime together with the game to sell this, but changed the public at start.. thank for that it gradatually get that overworld, and they did this because pokemon is an " boring turn based JRPG with lots of text that no one wants to read" (like fire emblem :v) if wasn't the aniem to call childrem atention, I'm sure it would only got translated in GBA or later , if get :v
I understand that about small parts and huge usage, but I told that for stuff like that will survive kids hands :v later times they amde stuffs to work the mostly possible, now they know that will get updates and the old will become junk so they don't put effort to it have a longer life , just the necessary (or less, like 1000 charging cicles on iphone, right, apple? >w>)
My 3DS suffered 3 falls on concrete and is still in perfect condition (putting aside some scratches on the outer case) :)
Come on, nintendo is known for the mostly resistance on consoles (only failed on ringes xD) I eman that the usefull life is less than some order stuff XD but you are lucky, is easy for a fatwire get bad contact or the screen crash with some falls :v
my Dslite survived for 5 and still alive btw XD

I should really go get some popcorn for this thread, it's incredibly amusing, I may feel like i'm losing a brain cell or two reading some posts , But I think it's great how the community comes together for a huge milestone in the 3DS scene ^^ So please continue.
I'm just going to be playing Leaf Green waiting for a spontaneous update on gateways page.

I was specifically referring to the song. I've got nothing against the exchange and even globalization of ideas and certain products. Like games, electronics, foods, traditions, and anything that doesn't kill people.

Song is here -

I don't recommend listening to it, though. It may melt your brain.

Apple is evil. Thats the best example of a company out to take your money. Repeatedly. Until you realize they're evil and start getting alternative products...

I don't know about that 1000 charge cycle thing. My mom is using my old iPhone 3 and it is like 6 years old. Apple may be evil but I have have had tremendous luck with their products the past decade. I recently bought my wife a retina MacBook Pro and that thing is sweet.

Same. I've lurked here for years before joining. Until recently I felt no reason to join - I just came, obtained instructions for things, and went about my business.

The charge thing is mostly on their laptops. My girlfriend has one for college and at the event they handed them out (I went because I'm an IT who doesn't focus on Mac at all and felt obligated) they told us that bit. Specifically, that if you charge it to completely avoid unplugging it as it has a countdown built into it. I find it dubious. At the same time, I know people who -had- the same laptop and it died for that very reason. MacBooks and iPhones are the bane of my existence, next to Java and people who don't backup their data correctly.
