Every one of Nintendo's handhelds have will have sold 70+ million (3DS will get there).

The only Nintendo console that's managed that is the Wii, and that was on the back of a dead fad. 

3DS may be having it's headaches, but it's not a flop like the Wii U is (GameCube too).

There's no future for Nintendo home consoles



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I guess I have to go with consoles!

handhelds... I love the N64, gamecube and wii but the majority of the games I owned have been on the GBC, GBA, DS(which I own more games for than wii, 64 and gamecube combined). So I would rather a handheld though I personally have a bit more fun with consoles.

It's possible by 2016 that Nintendo could have a handheld chip that is more powerful than the Wii U in some ways, maybe with some PS4/X1 style DX11 effects.



What they should do business-wise: Handheld. With all their focus on a HH, they could keep the market alive and be successful.

My preference: Console. I'm basically done with HH's besides for mobile. Plus, local multiplayer would be lost if they went HH only.



Whatever Japan wants... whatever Japan want.

Consoles of course. Though it doesn't really matter if the console only produces handheld visuals.


And yet the Wii U is STILL selling better than the Vita.



Consoles. Handhelds are in great decline, and they'll have to adapt to the market sooner or later.
