We clearly see that QQ3DS pro has more features than sky3ds+ in our first impressions. The common features are they can both play 3ds games , AP checks solved ,drag and drop , copy and play no need diskwriter, with firmware upgrade-able. That is to say , they use the same solutions for playing 3ds games, as the QQ3DS PRO 3DS Mode card and sky+ are all from the same factory but not the same distributors which they labelled different sticker separately , they are all original from un-labelled neutral cartridge factory. So , you may not arbitrarily or simply say that QQ3DS pro is just clone of sky+ lol, but the same original 3ds cartridge in physical design. The big differences are QQ3DS pro card can play DS games besides playing 3DS games, what’s more , also included the best value stuff – a 16GB MicroSDHC memory card in package. So far as we known, flashcard users have to buy memory card separately which cost at least 15USD in the market. The QQ3DS DS mode card which used as playing ds games should be R4I 3DS , we known, the R4I 3DS card should cost at least about 10USD. The USB card reader also cost 2USD if buying extra.

Market price in official site for those things

Sky3ds plus priced at least 87USD

R4I 3DS 10USD

16GB 15USD

USB card reader 2USD

QQ3DS PRO priced at 90USD

Sky3ds plus + R4I 3DS + 16GB memory card + USB card reader

All you buy, will cost 87+10+15+2=114 USD

While , if you buy a QQ3DS pro to instead of those , you only need pay for 90USD to enjoy all of them. In other way, if you just want to buy sky3ds+ only , you just need to pay for 3USD more to buy QQ3DS PRO. On the other hand, it imply sky3ds+ has obtained more profit than QQ3DS pro. Mathematicians in life , will you make a wise decision for choosing them ?

As ordinary consumers, pay more attention to cost-effective, additional functionality is no harm for us anyway. Spend less money and get more extra, a lot of consumers’ , including myself, common psychological portrayal.

In order to convenient for users to buy original sky+ or QQ3DS Pro, editor strongly recommend you to buy from their officials
