And of course people are going to blame it on smarthphones, ignoring that the 3DS and Vita aren't exactly the strongest handheld offerings of all time...

if you we're a dad and your kid asked you for a gaming device and you had to choose between a 200$ handheld plus 50$ for every game or a 399$ IPHONE with free games and 1$ games plus it's a phone.

What would you choose?

i would choose an iphone without even thinking about it.

If you were a dad, and you kid asked you for a gaming device, and you had to choose between a SNES with $60+ games or a commodore 64 with much cheaper games (on disc or cassette or whatever) pus other functionalities what would you choose?

Thing is, kids don't say "daddy I want a game platform". They will say "daddy I want Pokemon".

Kids don't care about graphics all they wanna see is a little guy on screen moving and they will be happy. Am i right or am i right

You are right.
