My 3DSXL turns off in the middle of my game is it the game or the system?

Question

I was playing platinum on my 3DSXL and all of a sudden it turned to a black screen like I turned it off. game or system? I also had it happen with the original Pokemon ranger game

If it happened with more than 1 game, I think it's the DS, not the game.

Answer 1

You cant be to sure on that one, it could be either one.

I'm pretty sure it's the DS. Game cartridges don't crash as they run no processes they just supply data.

Answer 2

That must mean the games are broken. You've played them too much. Or the fact your 3DSXL has a bug or glitch. Cant tell for certain.

I got them both and right away it happened.
