It is indeed very sad for talented developers. But that doesn't mean it won't happen.


Well, it actually does, because said developers and said "good games" will not be on said phones. There will always be a market for dedicated gaming just as theres still a market for books (a big one at that) in spite of the fact that digital was supposedly going to do away with print.

The issue is, here, that the costs, systems, and developers are so massive now that you need multimillion sales to even break even. The 3DS has(d) a different problem: software limited because Nintendo was pouring their time into salvaging the WiiU.

I don't dispute there's a market for dedicated gaming hardware. I just won't think there's a future for dedicated gaming handhelds.

I disagree with you here. I feel that there will still be a need for handhelds because they can get one thing right that smart phones can't: Controllers.

I've tried to play DOOM and many other games on my phone, but it simply doesn't match buttons that a handheld and a hardcore gamer needs to succeed in games.

Nintendo is finally getting with the program with releasing new hardware in the New 3DS to match smartphones and tablets. They should do this MUCH more often, because as trends show, the only thing people love more than technology is NEW TECHNOLOGY. People will still eat it up, just like they eat up all those new tablets and smartphones.

Now if they really wanna be successful, they should get apps that are available on many smartphones already, (besides entertaining apps) and somehow intergrate it within their portable devices, but maybe I am just being too idealistic now.

For the record, I don't think you are being bias. You are just blatantly honest. And I feel the same way about Nintendo as you do, even though I'm an Nintendo fan
