1) But we may be looking at a very large Number of people who own a Nintendo system, and play Facebook games. That is the point. Such gamers may end up saying, "I have all I need on Facebook and my new iPhone/iPad/iPod/android".

None of us have numbers, so nobody will budge. Sadly, common sense says most people who own a DS/Wii also own a smartphone/tablet. But you won't accept that. Agree to disagree :S

2) The fact that you say it's Nessie doesn't prove anything, nor does it make it Nessie. I'll just leave it at that.

3) You still fail to explain why these kids wanted one, where I've used common sense to tell you they bought it for the games, music and movies (i.e. multimedia). Hence you remain nonsensical.

1) Common sense also dictates that most people who own a 360/PS3/PSP/PSV also own a smartphone/tablet, but Sony and especially Microsoft are rarely mentioned in this context. What makes Nintendo so much more vulnerable to social and smartphone games? Nothing really, unless you apply the same logic as spurgeonryan earlier in the thread.

2) I don't need to prove anything. You need to show that Nintendo's business is threatened, but so far you are just taking the opposing position for the sake of arguing.

3) I've told you that these kids wanted an iPhone, because it is a phone. Just like everyone else buys smartphones, because they want a phone. But for some reason you think that games are a major reason, because smartphones happen to play games. It's as nonsensical as saying that the majority of PCs are bought to play games. There are PCs that are bought specifically for gaming, but those are a clear minority. The same applies to smartphones which is only highlighted by the failures of the N-Gage and the Xperia Play. The vast majority of people want their phones to be phones first, not some hybrid. On the other side of the spectrum, the vast majority of people wants their gaming machines to be gaming machines first, not some hybrid.

It boggle my mind that some people dont understand this
