NX power

I think asking NX to stop the bleeding from the tablet market is asking for too much.

Apple/Google have poisoned the well by getting people accustomed to free casual games, now Nintendo can't make money off those with their old business model.

And what's worse is tablets are getting cheaper and cheaper, now you can get a decent tablet with a nice HD display for $100 ... sometimes as low as $79 .... how do you realistically compete against that? In three years we're going to have what? $50 tablets? 

Kids and casuals are being inundated by a product that's basically being given away for free. It's not fair but what can you do. 

NX's main priority is likely to stay profitable. There's not a lot you can do about erosion from smart devices, it's like being hit with an earthquake followed by a tsunami ... you don't even have a chance.

If they can hold at 50 million portable NXs and 15-20 million console NXs .... that should be enough to turn a nice profit.

If Nintendo can preserve the huge attach rates of their first party, they won't have problems even with an userbase of 50m. Imagine how well MK8 would have sold if it its userbase had the size of the 3DS one. Now imagine that for all of their games.
