GBA sold better and was killed off earlier.

That was an era when portables sold like hotcakes.

Consoles are become harder sells these days. I dont see the point of still doing 5 year cycles.

They just sold what? 50 milion 3DS. Why are they walking away from that? The userbase for sucessful software is there.

Nintendo earns more revenue from hardware sales. They need to release a €200 handheld that is profitable from the start (or profitable with the purchase of one game)
