Handhelds can do well if they make something new and innovative that isnt a gimmick. If they try another gimmick or continue the DS line after the N3DS I expect a drop further in sales.

Nintendo will probably do a better job next time with the home console and will definitely sell better than the Wii U. I see it as a 2nd place console as long as they dont screw up again

How will ninty get 3 Rd partys back? If they are selling boat loads between the x1 PC and ps4 they might be content with that rather than adding another platform to their development teams 

Well if they do decide to unify the handheld and console so that all software is playable on both, then it will get all the 3rd party support that Nintendo handhelds have always been known for, which is hardcore Japanese titles and child-friendly Western titles. At a price of $199 with $30-40 software, Nintendo 1st/2nd parties alongside Hardcore Japanese games+Child friendly western games+increasing indie support+vastly improved Virtual Console gives Nintendo devices a ton of content despite lacking AAA titles. Nintendo's best chance of success next-gen is to completely differentiate themselves from MS/Sony and concentrate on their strengths.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
