Historically, those two things hardly guarantee success. Microsoft's succeeded by leveraging these brilliantly, but indomnitable behemoths like Kodak, General Motors, and Blockbusters have shown that not everyone can do so successfully. Nintendo has a leg up on these companies in that they at least seem to be aware of the danger, but obviously it's still an open question whether they'll succeed. I'm personally not sure the 3DS will meet the challenge with complete success, but... |
I didn't suggest that they would succeed, just that they would try, rather than allowing themselves to be disrupted.
Come to think of it, though, they're more likely to try to leverage a counterattack of their own at some point (no guarantees of success; just guarantees of effort made).
My point is that I don't think they would gracefully exit the handheld space so much as try their absolute very best to continue to make money in that space, even if it involves abandoning their thirty-year-old business model.
