Nintendo may exit handhelds in 10 years due to disruption

I understand your argument but at the same time seems like you're equating like materials against drastically different points.

MP3s sold killed off CD sales because you could ge tthem from home (and for free for a good long while). Sure, if Sony made a website where we could universally connect from anywhere AND play 95% of the games for free without ever having to go to a store, then yes, I can agree that it'd be like the CD vs MP3 connection.

I do understand your point about Tetris too, just like how Bejeweled has far outsold any single console game in existence - available on every computer and cell phone to date. Ultimately, it depends on the audience. I for one hate baseball games, and will never ever buy one, whereas I'll buy a horror game as soon as it comes out.

What's going to have to happen to make your suggestion be true is that someone is going to have to out-innovate Nintendo. Not an easy or cheap task to accomplish.
