1. Even if you include these third party exclusives, ie Bayonetta 2,Wonderful 101 etc, their output is still not enough to support a console.

2. Storage does not play a factor?  Do you know why FF went from N64 to PS1...?  Storage plays a huge factor, PS3 got some exclusives, ie MGS4, based purely on its increased storage.  

3. No its crap, it pales in comparison to the Wii's and they can't even be bothered to include GC games, which btw the competition has done since last gen (PS2 games on PS3 and Xbox games on 360).  Once again this is not a system selling feature and they are lagging way behind.

I don't thnk they should combine anything, their home consoles sales are gonna drag down their mobile console sales.


1. Hu? I am talking about Capcom, Level 5, other Japanese devs. They produce for the 3DS, they won't disappear and they can continue producing. If Nintendo makes a scalable platform the only hurdle for developers that already develop for Nintendo and have mindshare on Nintendo hardware will be making an HD set of textures... or, in reality, just make HD textures that they down scale to the portable version. ARM is, for this reason, highly likely as it is a very scalable architecture.

2. MGS4 wasn't exclusive because of storage. FFXIII needed multiple discs (I'm looking at them right now), didn't prevent SE from going multiplat with the brand. This is the point. The GCs slightly smaller discs are no different from X360/PS3 disc disparity. The N64 had VASTLY different problems with its production channels... 

3. The VC? Sure. The actual eShop in its entirety? Fuck no.

There won't be a distinction, why would their home console sales apply to what would still be a mobile console... with more games?

1. Those games don't do much...yes even Monster Hunter sells like shit in the west.  That is what this thread is about, how to appeal to the WEST, I think you've lost sight of that.  Third parties like CoD, sports titles, AC etc would have more of an affect than Monster Hunter and Pheonix Wright.

2. Yes it was, Kojima said so himself. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2013/05/02/metal-gear-solid-4-too-enormous-for-xbox-360

3. Stop ignoring the fact that it is not a system selling feature, no one is gonna run out and buy a Wii U for the eshop...
