This. People should really stop acting in denial, just take a look at the last news from Level 5, developers are indeed going to put more resources into mobile gaming. Some will be able to continue the support for dedicated handhelds, some will probably not. I have good faith in Nintendo, but for now, let's enjoy the good sales of 3DS hw and SW. |
What was the last hit game Rovio produced? Amazing Alex? which probably didn't make them that much revenue compared to Angry Birds. The main thing I see happening is that the dedicated hand held market is becoming more like the home console market. Hand held market will be dominated mainly by the major 3rd party companies along with first party. There will always be the eshops to purchase indie games or games from smaller developers but there will be less physical releases of games from small companies on dedicated hand helds. Basically, I still don't see all the doom and gloom from smartphones. Has smartphones stolen consumers from dedicated hand helds? Sure but there will be always money to be made in the dedicated hand held market for the foreseeable future. Nintendo is about to make a lot of money from the 3DS especially this holiday season with a lot of good releases in all markets.
