it's the $40 price tag on games that aren't distinctively better experiences then what smartphones/tablets are offering for a $5 price tag on a much more useful device. small, bite sized pick-up and play experiences...apps are killing in this area.

It's $40 suggested retail price for games, but if you're going to put a shovelware on it, you may as well charge $40 for your $5 games. The problem is the games. If anyone is to blame, blame the ones overcharging (a lot of 3rd parties).

you're not listening, i'm not talking  about shovelware in any way.  dead space, fifa, madden, tiger woods golf, ect.  these games are all on smartphones right now and i promise you, they aren't significantly different from the ds/psp couterpart except in 1 way - a huuuge price difference.

i mean really ... steel diver, pilot wings, nintendogs, brain age, animal crossing, pokemon, star fox, mario kart.  which of these nintendo games couldn't be done on an smartphone or tablet??

...if you've spent any amount of time playing games on IOS/android then you would know the answer; none.

No. The $5 games on iOS aren't going to be comparable to the full fledge gaming device.
