In a market dominated by Apple, Samsung and other big technology brands (Sony, Asustek etc) it wouldn't be smart to make a tablet gaming device. That goes also to cell phones as well. Who, outside of a select few would want one instead of the latest and greatest tablet/smart device?

They either need to come back and make another stab at the home consoles; and not mess it up (plan out releases, make it desirable, market it properly). Or not bother with that altogether and embrace their strong point - portables. Cheap/affordable devices aimed at the younger demographics that adults can also pick up and enjoy. You won't see a young adult with Nintendo tablets or phones. There isn't a market for it.

Anyone who is buying a tablet for their kid or something to play for themselves that has some solid games and buttons and does not want to spend $300-$500 would want one; I say this from some observations I made, a lot of parents I know rather than purchase a full $250+ console for their kids just got them a cheap tablet. Also, biggest selling apps (by a huge margin) on phones and tablets is games, so I think Nintendo can be a good fit in this space if they do try and make something inexpensive, decently powerred, with good multimedia and multitasking features.
