With Nintendo finding absolute success again in the casual space in Japan, literally dominating their competition thanks to the 3DS, they are now in a position to renew their ties with the Industry. |
This is assuming their only competition in the casual space is dedicated handhelds. So far, their casual software has not been performing as well as on the DS in Japan. Things like Brain Training, NSMB, Layton, and Nintendogs are far behind the DS versions. Tomodachi started off stronger, but isn't having the legs of the DS one, same for Mario Kart. Now either these customers have dropped out of the market completely (which would be bad on its own), or they are getting their fix from elsewhere. Smartphones being the likely culprit.
