Not only did they go from SD to HD with their home consoles but they also went from 2D to 3D with their handhelds and this caused their outout to significantly decline from DS/Wii to 3DS/Wii U. If they struggled with supporting a PS3 level console and PSP level handheld than how would manage a PS4 level console and Vita level handheld? |
I think this is one of the biggest factors, yeah.
Also looking back on it I think the DS might have been the peak productivity in regards to 1st party titles, or at least the best on a handheld. A lot of that was companies like IntelligentSystems and Gamefreak, but still.
