And what exactly is wrong with Nintendo making tablet gaming work? 

Because they can't make it work. 

Yes, they can. Anyone can if you put the right minds at it. 


Agreed. Something similar in size to the iPad mini wouldn't be that big at all either. 

The larger, fat as a brick 3DS XL sells more than the smaller 3DS ... bigger portables are the trend right now. 

Also I prefer the Wii U tablet form factor over the 3DS any day. The larger design is more comfortable to play for longer sessions, the larger single screen is better overall for gaming, rather than pointlessly splitting the screens into two and then having (for like 95% of games) the bottom screen do practically nothing. 

The larger tablet form factor can also allow Nintendo to have a better chipset with more space for heat dissipation. 

They can always make a smaller variant (3DS XL sized) later on with die shrinks (say 20nm to 16 or 14nm). But I would bet money if that happens, the larger model will still be the better selling one.
