I say yes. In 2017 but it will flop.

They shouldn't bother: phones are here ready to claim the mobile gaming space and if some internet speculation is right about the NX, it would suggest Nintendo knows this.

What do you mean by that? I haven't followed too much the rumors about NX. But I'm curious now. 

Again, IF some internet speculation is correct, the NX will feature a mobile aspect to it: a handheld that can play the games on the go and a console that can play those games at home and upscale them with better graphics and such. Sorta like the WiiU but with a game pad that can be taken anywhere and play the games on its own. Again, it's speculation.

People are already trying the prototype.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I would hope they wouldn't be that stupid.

No, Sony will take the mobile route next gen, as it is much more profitable to them than the PSV.

Handhelds are done. Even Nintendo who survived for generations on handhelds will not be making handheld exclusives anymore.

Yet everything so far at Ninty looks to be the exact opposite. It won't be long until new 3D Zelda games, Splatoon, and Mario Maker join their handheld side.

Everything so far like what? Based on rumours, their next "handheld" will just play NX games. Instead of making exclusive games to that handheld, it'll get the same games as the NX. And that is something that I've always said will happen as Nitendo cannot support 2 systems at a time, especially when one is HD.

Doubt it, but they may use the playstation branding on tablets or somethingif you want to count that.

Playstation Software & Service with remote play from a living room playstation + Any Android OS app' & Games powered smartphone or Tablet, no need for a dedicated game handheld anymore .

The fact Sony is stating this on Sony Mobile:

PS4 Remote Play devices

"Pick your Xperia gaming device." PS4 Remote Play is available on the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z3 Series, as well as the Xperia Z4 Tablet.

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/apps-services/remote-play/

 

The fact they are saying, "Pick your Xperia gaming device."  Calling an xperia a gaming device may be the key point here, exactly why Sony is not going to invest any 1st party resources into a dedicated game handheld, there may not be enough money in it. This way they can indeed sell software and make money. Using existing smartphones and tablets.

I think Sony see the next dedicated game handheld is pretty much any smartphone or Tablet!

Starting with xperia's of course



I AM BOLO

100% lover "nothing else matter's" after that...

ps:

Proud psOne/2/3/p owner.  I survived Aplcalyps3 and all I got was this lousy Signature.

Wow you are trying so hard here. The handheld will play NX games? What? Are you actually trying to pitch Ninty will just port home console games to a handheld? It is obviously the other way around lol but keep trying. If NX isn't both(portable and home) then its a handheld and a home console will receive ports from it.
