Here is one more thing, about Nintendo, and where they are. johnlucas rah-rahs things and goes with the b_e_l_i_e_v_e bit with Nintendo. What you see as their response to current challenges is 3D in handhelds, and also a second screen for home consoles. The Wii U isn't doing what the Wii did and doesn't show that people want the second screen as a must have feature. And with the 3DS, Nintendo coming out with the 2DS ends up being a sign that 3D isn't want people want either. 3D didn't end up being the next big thing, and the 2DS validates that.
As of now, Nintendo shows leadership in the portable arena, and is not doing much on the console side. johnlucas seems to think, somehow, that smart device gaming is going to implode, and people use their smart devices just to do work, and then they will all jump on the Nintendo bandwagon. Heck, for all I know johnlucas will believe that people are going to stop buying tablets and buy the 2DS instead, because surfing the web and all that is just a fad, while playing the next Miyamoto title is a MUST DO.
Reality isn't showing differentiators Nintendo is offering is what people want at all.
