Right now on 3DS have Fire Emblem, Professor Layton, Mario 3D Land, Bravely Default, Pokemon X/Y, Zelda: Link Between Worlds, Shin Megami Tensei IV as game I have no issue spending $40 a piece on. I actually never rated the DS as high as the GBA or now the 3DS, it is my least favorite Nintendo handheld. Mobile's controls are abysmal from every experience I have had. I cannot think of a single title that can be done beter on mobile than on 3DS or PSV. I am not arguing with you, I see the same family gatherings. It is simply a trend that I am not part of. I would much rather spend $40-60 on a deep worthwhile well made game than nothing on a game I derive no enjoyment from. Mobile is winning, no denying that at this stage, I just don't understand the appeal others get form them. To me it is like eating a fast food hamburger over a filet mignon. Yes, one is far more popular due to being much cheaper, but I don't get the appeal of eating crap food that gives me indigestion. Now, I have to sit on my front porch, play my 3DS or PSV and yell at neighborhood children to get off my lawn. |
the bolded statement very succinctly and efficiently highlights one simple fact; your (and my) tastes do not represent the mass market.
allow me to sum up why dedicated handhelds are failing and will be extinct very shortly.
vita.
allow me to expand upon that thought.
vita underscore that "console quality" gaming on the go is not what the mass market wants.
i'm right there with you augen, but most people would rather eat at mcdonalds than alinea. i literally ate at mcdonalds for the first time in ~6 years last weekend and it was horrible. i felt so sick afterwords. i never want to go back. unfortunately, i was the pompous dick with unreasonable standards when choosing a place to eat last weekend with my friends...
