As an example, the PSP initially may have seemed like a device that would appeal to the west more than the DS, but Nintendo won over consumers in all regions by focusing on making the types of games that were its biggest sellers in both markets; Mario Kart, NSMB, Brain Age, etc. I just don't think that you'll ever see sales for COD or Madden on hand helds reaching anywhere near what they do on consoles. I'm not saying these kinds of games on hand helds aren't great to have (the more variety, the better), but they're not the kinds of games that made the DS triumph over the PSP in the west.
Just wait until E3 and I'm sure we'll see more support for many types of games, particularly after the 3DS sells through the roof this holiday.
