I never explicitely agreed that it had long droughts. But sure, keep putting words in my mouth.
| zorg1000 said: 3. my point is it goes both ways. PS/XB are missing out on millions of gamers by catering almost solely on 13-35 year old males who primarily play shooters, sports, action games. |
I disagree. There are tons of games on both platforms that appeal to a massive audience... Granted it's not on the same level as Mario, but they still exist.
And there are tons of "simpler" games too thanks to both companies embracing Indie/Arcade/Casual games as a whole.
Nintendo is also competing with Android and iOS and PC in terms of casual Audience these days.

So your entire assumption is that the Audience of the Handheld and Console will carry over?
Should have probably told Nintendo about that with the Wii U and Microsoft with the Xbox One, both lost customers to Sony.

We aren't talking about what Nintendo want's.
We are comparing platforms... And thus far I had assumed the entire discussion was about the home consoles.
| Lrdfancypants said: How on earth is PC install base more related to MS console gaming success than handheld is to Nintendos?

Er. Because the majority of the PC is powered by Microsoft's technology? They helped define various hardware components too via various Application Programming Interfaces in consort with various hardware manufacturers and also build a ton of peripherals for it also.
