And how is any of this a threat to Nintendo? Gaming on Iphone and Android is an afterthought, not to mention, Nintendo has the games that keep bringing in people, not to mention, Nintendo is about to launch a completely new platform which will likely see explosive growth

Despite it being an afterthought, gaming on the iPhone and Android sure are growing at a breakneck rate.

Nintendo does indeed have games that bring in people - but so do many developers. If these developers start supporting phones seriously (and many have to success), then the phones will be very prominent gaming devices.

I'll gladly take on a bet with you: Android hardware will outsell 3DS hardware 2:1 after launch.

 

Cause that is a fair bet ... betting a phone will outsell a handheld...

Thats my point. Its not a fair bet.

Android will have hundreds of phones on the OS linking in to 1 market place. So its safe to assume that the OS will have huge margins against the DS. If Androids sell 2:1, 5:1 or even 10:1, what are the chances that a game like Final Fantasy winds up selling better on Android vs. a DS?
