Maybe, but the thought of it really bothers me. It's like a big part of my life getting swept under the rug, all because of the influx of smart devices.

I always said Nintendo should have been the ones inventing the iPhone back in the day. It was the natural evolution.

No it wasn't. The iphone was the evolution of the ipod and ipod was the natural evolution of Walkman.

Why Sony did not invent the iPod

 They could be selling a smart device where they make first party and get profits from apps and games sold on it.

They're doing that now.

They would be the richest company in the world now if they did. 

Unlikely.
