If you knew anything about Sean Malstrom you would know that he argues that Mobile Gaming is just PC gaming on the go and that the 3DS and iOS/Droid platforms are NOT competing.
I like I said in an earlier post, Nintendo's worst enemy right now is itself. Most freemium games that are supposedly taking away casual gamers are just games in the same vein as Flash games about a decade ago. If anything, they're proof that Nintendo should go back to its roots as Nintendo trying to emulate these platforms with the Nintendo E-Shop is doing far less to prove their relevance but rather show that they can't compete with iOS/Droid at their game. Nintendo should stick to making their games and not try to be a PC-like platform as that space is already dominated.
Nintendo should go back to what made handheld gamings appealing with the DS. It was when they made new IP's that embraced casual gaming (Nintendogs, Brain Age and its contemporaries) as well as release new entries in their strongest selling franchises (NSMB, Mario Kart, Pokémon) that the DS outsold all handheld gaming platforms before it.
By the way, the Vita is irrelevant because it's not a handheld gaming platform so much as its a cheaper form of console gaming as most Vita games are just home console ports and the PS3/PS4/X1/X360 are just better at being home consoles than it.
Pixel Art can be fun.
