So, you assume a portable/console hybrid will sell 70 million post 2017 in a tabet/cellphone centric world? You can't compare DS #'s, as most of the sales were pre 2014 when handhelds were a more active market. Not a nintendo hater, as I have 4 DS's in my home. just a realist for today. |
I don't think NX is here to "fight" mobile. Nintendo knows that's a fruitless endeavor. NX will embrace and use mobile, I think it will run Android apps (per Nikkei which is very reliable in the past).
So for $250-$300 I think you'll be able to get something that plays Nintendo games, Virtual Console games, maybe DS/3DS backwards comp, AND Android apps ... that's $100-$150 less than a 16GB iPad Mini.
And why not really ... Nintendo will be able to take home 100% of the profit/revenue from their own mobile games like Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem and future Pokemon games on mobile on NX, and also collect 30% licensing fees off other apps that kids go crazy for like Candy Crush, Angry Birds, Minecraft, and so on.
