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

Which motion control device that was like the wii which released before it? I am just curious.

Same with the DS... Dual screens with one being touch for a gaming device? From a serious player?

Cause I can't remember devices that got marketed to consumers that were like that before the wii/DS. Yea there were technologies before but used like the wii/DS?

And its not like Nintendo's own take on things have always been successful for them. Look at the wiiU and Gamecube. I don't see why Nintendo's own take into tablets + competitive market will suddenly make them better based on the rumors. Specially if it does what other tablets already can do... Apart from play Nintendo games.

Edited to make wording better
