As a long time Nintendo owner and fan, why would I buy a Nintendo smartphone for its casual Pokemon Go and others when I can get an iPhone like the rest of my family that has iMessage? I think its too late and I recognize people said the same thing for Pokemon Go and Miitomo but Nintendo is more known for their software than their hardware.
The non-phone model seems expensive like the 3DS was at launch and will do just as bad. Nintendo should just make a cheap portable that syncs with your phone to receive push notifications and possibly play smartphone games with it traditional controller. No need to price hike it to be like a smartphone. So no expensive cameras, gps, and expensive and horrible battery life when playing games.
