Nintendo - don't compare 3DS battery life to other platforms

“3DS is a unique product, so […] comparisons to other portable devices aren’t always applicable. If you look at other high-resolution portable devices, which is probably a better comparison than other portable gaming systems, three to five hours of intensive use is not an unreasonable battery life.” - Nintendo’s marketing manager James Honeywell

Nintendo is really taking a beating on this battery life stuff for the 3DS. I think we need to go hands-on with the device in our homes to see how much of this is really an issue.
