But the issue still is, there was nothing like the wii or the DS in gaming. I am not sure which mass market device are you referring to that did what the wii/DS did before either of them. There are concepts sure but there are concepts about everything and those that are successful take those concepts and execute it perfectly.

But there are tablets that can play games so thats not exactly a concept anymore... So what "new" market is Nintendo trying to take off in that other tablets can't do?

Wrong again as the were motion control devices and touch screen devices in gaming Nintendo just did what they usually do and put their own approach to the concept, the Wii wasn't even Nintendo's first or second venture into mc for a start. Even things like augmented reality were done by devices like Gizmondo over a decade ago.

MC and touch screen took off not because it was new as it wasn't it took off because of the approach to them that Nintendo utilized that created a market for them. If it was a case of the tech not being seen before the would have been many devices before that would have created the market, it's the appraoch and handling that created the market not it being new.

Yep i agree with you, we see this from Apple as well. iPod, iPhone & iPad werent the first MP3 Player, Smartphone or Tablet on the market but they were all the first truly successful ones due to the approach they went with them which included a combination of marketing, brand appeal & being more streamlined/accessible than the competitors.
