| famousringo said: Look at it this way. Nintendo had an opportunity to bring a unique value to handheld gaming: 3D display. This is a value that smartphones -- now emerging as the most serious competitor to the DS in handheld gaming -- cannot easily duplicate. Nintendo needs to execute on this opportunity before somebody else does. Does the Wii have a similar opportunity? What can Nintendo bring to the Wii 2 that isn't already on the market? Not HD output, or online ecosystem, or media functionality. The opportunity is there for handheld, and it isn't there yet for home console. |
This not to mention that DS software and hardware will still sell well/okay after the 3DS releases. I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I'm pretty sure the GBA didn't just up and vanish when the DS came out.
