I doubt that it will be a significant loss, but Nintendo has noone to blame but themselves for conceiving such a poor initial strategy for their current generation handheld.

Was it really that bad?
I know times have changed but the original DS didn't start out any better... is this all because of smartphones or is there something else going on?

really, the DS had quite a few problems when it launched, not the least of which was being weird, making it difficult to understand who the product was aimed at...
