Why the Death of Nintendo Would Do Gaming Zero Favors

It's very tricky about this: Nintendo carefully tailors the HW it designs to the most common gameplays and to special gameplays it intends to introduce as innovations and/or unique features, so on PC and home consoles they could enjoy a huge audience and they could recommend too the best controllers their games were developed for. Portables are different, you can't change their input peripherals and afterthoughts like 3DS 2nd stick are usually failures. Tablets are even worse, they're fine for very casual games and some arcade racers with drive heavily assisted, but they suck at more complex games and more in general at those with gameplay that benefits from the tactile feedback and the precision of interfaces like sticks and buttons.

Sorry, but I am tired of this BS "Nintendo tailors their consoles to their games" BS.  The best and games on the Wii U are MK8 and Smash, and guess what?  Neither use the  tablet for jack sh*t.  In fact they are selling a peripheral that let's you use a GAMECUBE controller.

Sorry, I forgot to write that not always it works as they planned, predicted and hoped.   

But they often try, and while, as I wrote, on home consoles and PCs the user could make up for their HW choosing his favoured input devices, on portables this wouldn't be possible and on tablets the whole gaming dedicated controls would be missing and this would damage Ninty games.
