Forbes: The iPhone 6 Isn't Going To Kill Nintendo And Mobile Isn't The End Of Consoles

Let's hit this with some cold hard math in a real life scenario.

Say you have a child whom you're buying Christmas gifts for

Would you rather:

Spend $400+ on a new iPad that has F2P games that have near-unlimited amount of microtransactions that go to your credit card as your child uses it.

Or $200 on a 3DS with a new Pokemon or Mario game on it.

Even though Nintendo sells 3DS games at $20-$40 each -- they are still more price competitive than Apple for the fact that their hardware is more price competitive and easier for parents to manage.
