I don't really understand why the arguments are tied together. Nintendo could easily create mobile games while maintaining their presence in the hardware world.
I don't really even see how developing mobile games would hurt them. It's not like Nintendo doesn't make spin-off games quite often. A spin-off Pokemon title for phones would only increase the user-base, for example. A Pokemon Snap would be wildly popular. They could even use lesser franchises instead, like Kirby or Star Fox (!).
One of Nintendo's failings is that they often resist new trends until the market forces them, like an account system or a fully-formed internet infrastructure. At least they're getting into mobile somewhat with that Pokemon Tap app. |
So are you saying that, sooner or later, all of the big three would have to make a transition over to the mobile market? Considering mobile gaming being a "new trend" and how MS/Sony are always keen on getting to the new trends first.

Nuh uh, as Nintendo is the only company that specializes in hand-held games. Outside Japan Studio, I think most of the Sony studios only have to make a hand-held game if they've pissed Yoshida-san off somehow. It's like the developer version of being forced to peel potatoes in the army.

That would explain a lot as far as franchise representation goes, LOL. XD
