Then what seperates them from MS and Sony who are better at what the majority of gamers want?  Nothing against Nintendo but the vast majority of gamers will take Uncharted or Halo over any Nintendo franchise. For me I will take Zelda over either, but I will take Bloodborne over any Nintendo franchise

 

Nintendo handhelds may profit for a few more gens but it wont be enough to hold Nintendo up by itself. The 3DS is already going to fall way short of the DS and the 3DS successor will fall way short of the 3DS.

You mean like this with the ipod? lol

There may still be a small profit but its barely worth their time

Well, we don't really know that for sure because every Nintendo console since the Snes had major issues with third party games... I think that Nintendo exclusives + third party games stand a great chance against MS and Sony exclusives + third party games because of how much of a different experience Nintendo games offer from the other two. And not only that, the places where Nintendo does overlap with Sony, Nintendo does manage to outsell the Sony games by a notiable margin as well as out "score" them. The closet we have come to seeing how it might turn out would be the DS vs PsP or 3ds vs Vita because all of those handhelds had plenty of third party support and first party support but we all know that its a flawed comparison. I am not saying that it will outsell the next Sony console but I am saying that it will do far better than right now or even the GC days

And yes, I agree that it won't be enough to hold Nintendo up by itself hence why I wanted them to do it from mid next gen, not right now. And the 3ds had its own sets of issues that prevented it from being a huge success. It was over priced at launch and it came with a gimmick that sacraficed performance for little in return. The fact that it sold so much should tell you what Nintendo IPs + some third party games are capable of considering how badly the vita failed... At least the 3ds has a respectable sales number and I doubt it will go dramatically down next gen provided they don't go with the gimmicky nonsense or if they do, make sure its not something this costly

Well, thats the ipod classic but the rest are still there
