Nope - they'd get slaughtered. They should consider software support for phones and tablets though. I think going forward we're going to see less focus on dedicated tech for portable gaming and a lot more focus on multi-function and a world where Nintendo should focus on getting their games on other peoples hardware.

Well this is what Sony said they would do with PS Suite, it's just nothing has happened yet and I certainly think it is a route that Nintendo could go

I think it is interesting, but I certainly hope that the focus stays with console gaming for a while to come, I need proper controls!!!

O prefer controls myself, just noting that at some point these guys need to realize they're missing a lot of potential software sales if not on other devices.  I fogot about the PS Suite stuff.  Have to check and see if it's actually showing some signs of life.

They could get around it by either directly co-operating with Sony and launching games for the XPERIA Play and "PlayStation Certified Devices" or copy them and work with HTC (probably) to make some dual screen phone or something with physical controls
