The difference is people buy the Nintendo handhelds because of value and the apple products because of image.   The first thing is real the second is just an illusion.

People buy Apple products because they're functional, inviting, and easy to use for the lay person. That they're stylish is just the icing on the cake. 

I personally don't think mobile gaming will actually completely overrun the handheld market.  Too many people think it without realizing that PC gaming to console gaming is kind of like mobile gaming to handheld gaming.  The main difference here is that "casuals" play mobile, and what is associated with "hardcore" play PC (though I would argue otherwise).  I don't think the serious gamers who play handhelds will give up handhelds for mobile games that have significantly lower production value.

I agree. Its just more people and the original ones will be the minority.  Like actual hardcore gamers are the minority today and those who are called  hardcore are actually mainstreamers (who wish they would be hardcore xD)

Its just sad that even some devs dont understand it  or even if they do  stupid people that owns stock of those dev studios/publishers dont understand and whine about stuff like  "why does Ni no Kuni  sell so much worse than COD?!" ....

Lets hope there will always be game studios that make real games for real gamers.
