Smart devices aren't dedicated gaming machines. And since virtually every human being is going to own a smartphone at some point, you would have to say that Nintendo should quit handhelds if it is your opinion that smartphones are truly competing with handhelds. However, you have suggested no such thing and instead proposed that Nintendo should quit making home consoles. So either you don't consider smart devices competition or you think they aren't an actual threat. In any case, it means that smart devices and PCs are not competing devices like PlayStation and Xbox, and you know that, because you have argued from that angle throughout this entire thread. |
No, phones are a threat to handheld gaming. There's no way around that. But it's not a "lethal" threat. It's not gonna kill handhelds. It wouldn't benefit Nintendo to completely abandon handhelds and release pokemon etc. on phones (at least I don't think it would). But (I think) it does benefit Nintendo to release their home console games on other consoles, and ditch making their own hardware. I'm not really sure how I've argued that smarthphones and PCs aren't competing against handhelds?
