I believe in 10 years video gaming will be majorly digital and Nintendo won't know how to handle it. MS and Sony are getting ready for the inevitable.

But that's just my take.


Not sure what you mean by that. Nintendo has been very agressive with digital games in the past few years.


If they're thinking about going 3rd party that would be good enough. I don't think they have what it takes to be fully digital as in streaming games anywhere you want.


Well, in the last Fiscal Year briefing thingy Iwata has greatly hinted at some sort of same architaecture and same OS for thier next platforms. Ones that would make it easy to develop for both, and perhaps even in the very same way.They also talked about QOL there is this "Fusion" rumour which does not necersarliy mean 1 platform being a cross between a handheld and a home console.  I think they have plenty of time  to invest in streaming stuff, if that even would be bigger than downloading actual games, since that's quite far away and we have no idea what they are planning for thier next consoles. Thier digital downloads have improved a lot and are becoming increasing popular. 

 

I hope they keep the eShop brand. Nintendo is TERRIBLY at keeping good brands....
