the gaming aspect of phones/tablets revolves around touch & motion.

there was touch and PRIOR to the Wii and DS they were doing touch in phones already. You mean to tell me that they would not be implemented in the games for phones anyway? I dont think people are buying phones for games anyway.

hence why i said first successful motion & touch based devices.

it doesnt matter if people arent buying phones just for games, what matters is that billions of people play games on phones.

can you really attribute that to Nintendo though? Do you really believe if Wii and DS werent as popular touch screen in phones and motion still wouldnt exist despite all evidence saying it would? cause if so then it is what it is, those billions would have been playing regardless. You still never answered why Wii U and 3ds arent close as succesful despite having essentially the same features that made their predeccesors so successful

what could they have done this gen that would have changed there fortunes or get them Wii numbers again? cause im not quite sure another wiimote would have done it.

I hav eno idea.  But then no one knew they were going to pull of the DS or Wii.

 

When they innovate, the industry takes notice.  Not everything sticks around but it damn sure makes and impact.  When they half ass their innovation or play more toward the industry itself, they falter.

fair enough, seems like a damn if they do damn if they dont scenario but NX will tell.
