Not long until they realize that PS4 is the most popular home console and will start developing for it.

Nope. 3DS has a bigger installbase and that's why everything is ported to it.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Wait, they only now see that?

This is the same company that didn't think online gaming would catch on.

Erm... Nintendo consoles haven't been the most popular in the world for a very long time now



Around the Network

it has to do with communication and of course profit

I don't think small budget PC titles will ever generate the huge money smartphone games generate

Nintendo is obviously taking the free marketing for their consoles into account when deciding to develop for smartphones, people who enjoy the minigames on smartphones will propably think about giving the actual thing a try (Pokemon already proved that)

also, League of Legends must be one of the biggest money generating PC games if I'm not mistaken, so the only Nintendo game that would make perfect sense for PC and huge money would be a LoL-type multiplayer strategy game with tons of Nitendo characters and stages, including of course Pokemon and everything



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

It sold 61m. There weren't many PCs bought for home use back then, so home computers from companies like Amiga and Atari were the most popular non-consoles used for gaming. The NES, however, was far more popular than them, hence why the aforementioned companies' devices bit the dust eventually. PC gaming didn't die, but it saw a transformation from gaming devices that were pitched as educational tools to all-purpose machines that housed games.

Well Nintendo didn't specify that it was for gaming, they just said 'most popular device in the world', so whether they were used for gaming or not isn't really relevant

Cars are an even more popular "device", following your logic...

Six years or so?

He did say 'home console' so 3DS doesn't really count.

Besides the 3DS doesn't get anywhere near 'everything' ported to it.

It doesn't if it is homeconsole or a toaster. 3DS numbers are still bigger and that's why Nintendo is porting their Wii U games to 3DS. It is also cheaper.

"now we see smartphones are the most popular device in the world."

I want to say, "so why are they making a tablet (If the rumors are true)," but I don't feel like arguing with two fanbases today.
