Tablet gaming is slowly getting less relevance since the marke is super saturated. If nintendo lauched a trablet with android they just would be a hardware vendor like Samsung or Asus.....their games could be pirated into other tablets and Nintendo is very afraid of that. Nintedo sells both hardware and software to have entire control. They are not willing to lose it.

They don't have to. Who thought a waggling a stick in front of your television screen would be so compelling? If anyone can make tablet gaming work, it's Nintendo.

It is a gamepad with tablet-like features, but it isn't a true tablet. It isn't a full-featured computer and it is utterly dependent on the console (IIRC it doesn't even have its own CPU or GPU). A Shield or Razer Edge clone it ain't. |
Yes, but in the end is a stop gap for a full tablet.

The difference is that Wiimote-style motion controls had never been done before so nobody knew what to expect. We know what to expect from tablets. There's a difference between making something new work well and emulating existing tech but trying to improve it. |
And what exactly is wrong with Nintendo making tablet gaming work?

Yes, they can. Anyone can if you put the right minds at it.

Agreed. Something similar in size to the iPad mini wouldn't be that big at all either.
The larger, fat as a brick 3DS XL sells more than the smaller 3DS ... bigger portables are the trend right now.
Also I prefer the Wii U tablet form factor over the 3DS any day. The larger design is more comfortable to play for longer sessions, the larger single screen is better overall for gaming, rather than pointlessly splitting the screens into two and then having (for like 95% of games) the bottom screen do practically nothing.
The larger tablet form factor can also allow Nintendo to have a better chipset with more space for heat dissipation.
They can always make a smaller variant (3DS XL sized) later on with die shrinks (say 20nm to 16 or 14nm). But I would bet money if that happens, the larger model will still be the better selling one.

Exactly. People need to broaden their horizons a little bit.

It would be a interesting test of the 3DS XL was shrunk down to a 3DS original. And see if it sells. Personally, I see people buying the XL. Not because the size. But because of the bad design of the original makes you not want it. The 3d switch being allowed to be locked in place, and the removemal of the lit up 3D text on the top screen alone made me buy a XL. Similar to the DS Lite to the DS. The original DS is a POS to the Lite. So no one is gonna buy the DS. Also, people who say Nintendo could release variants on the hardware. Nintendo has been sucking in that area for a while. With allocation. They didn't even want to release the New 3DS original size to the US. THat is a hardware variant. But they're so sure it would sell bad. It's ignored. Would Nintendo even handle multiple variants at all correctly?

Motion controls had been done before, such as the Power Glove, Sega Activator, EyeToy. Wii took that concept and made it better and successful, why is it impossible for the same thing to happen with Nintendo and tablets?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

All the examples you gave where bad products before wii remote. VS a tablet that is already a perfected product. Not much room for improvement. It would fall in the more of the same place. Or redunant. IE No wow factor.
