my theory was that a nintendo console was not coming for a long while
for those who have not read that thread
sorry i forgot source
If they want to use the 3DS as a pillar for 5 years, Nintendo as a company will cease to exist within that time frame. Apple is coming out with updates to the iPhone and iPad on a yearly basis. Android is on a 6 month cycle. In 5 years the 3DS will be literally 5-10 generations behind in the hand held market. Even at the GDC devs are actively taking about how the handheld gaming market is absolutely shifting towards the phone market. People do not want to carry 2 devices. They especially don't want to carry a uni-tasker. Why carry a 3DS if my phone does basically the same thing? That kind of question is going to become more and more relevant. The biggest handheld game last year was.... Angry Birds. The trend is moving towards gaming on the phone and if Nintendo misses the boat they'll be stuck with a handheld device no one wants.
