Forums - Nintendo - 3DS in 2015: Is it really this bad?

I literally can not think of a single big game for 3DS by Nintendo, however in 2015 we get Monster Hunter4, Yokai Watch, Bravely Second, Codename Steam, and Xenoblade (which is New 3DS exclusive) but notice how all of these are third party games...

STEAM, Xenoblade are both first-party games. The rumored Zelda is also a first-party title whenever it shows up.

Pokemon is first-party whenever it, innevitably, shows up.

The way I see it, the console gaming market has a future and dedicated handheld gaming doesn't.

There maybe no future for dedicated handheld gaming on SONY'S side but it's different for Nintendo and dedicated handhelds will never die since they can provide a better portable gaming experience with tactile controls! 

Nintendo may have a future but its a sad one, Japan is the biggest market for smartphone game and if 3DS sales are anything to go buy the western market wants nothing to do with handhelds compared to the past and even Japan is moving away from them.

Hopefully you are right. But even 3DS is down massively from the DS.


PS3 did almost less than half PS2 sales but that didn't stop Sony

If anything, Japan is an indication of what the future for the west holds. Brickboxes are going to disappear as dedicated hardware, mobile is a different matter entirely because there ARE things you just can do with a tablet and they don't come built for the on-the-go experience. The Nvidia Shield was and that needs cumbersome peripherals to function as an actual gaming station.

Consoles? Completely invalidated by a PC nowadays.

If they are going to do some Wii ports I would expect Super Mario Galaxy as well, but also Twilight Princess and Kirby's Epic Yarn

The reason why Nintendo is suffering a decline in the handheld market is their own fault. Wasn't exactly a smart idea to launch the 3DS at $250 ...

PS3 wasn't associated with an overall downturn of the console market, but 3DS is associated with an overall downturn of the handheld market.

It wasnt but they fixed that issue and the no games issue quickly and well... still not doing well really.
