No.

Why are some one here against ninty selling games on ios and android.... a market with billion users not enough for you, you want them to limit their sales to their own phone which would be a sales disaster.

We do not want that to happen because smartphones do not have buttons and a lot of us have become accustomed to the second screen experience found on 3DS, DS, Wii U (not having to pause games to access maps and manage inventory). Also, how can you tell for certain that the phone would be a sales disaster?

Why the hell would anyone buy a nintendo phone? other then maybe a few million hardcore ninty fanboys.

 

Same reason people would buy a 3DS; it has Nintendo games and the price is relatively low (if they do this it would be perfect thing to buy as a kids' first smartphone as wel). If Nintendo manages to couple this with some basic functionalities like multitasking and multimedia than it would be a win as an entry level smartpone. Of course if Nintendo decides to price it at like $500 then of course the device will fail. Moreover, I think Nintendo would wise to release a portable non-phone version as well for those who do not want the phone functionality.
