1) Embrace SmartPhones over proprietary hardware as a platform. The North American Market =/= Japanese Market (I can't comment on the European Market). Minimalism is king. Not everyone in the N.A. market will invest in a separate dedicated gaming system, but just about everyone will invest in SmartPhone.
2) Quality Games. I know that there's a lot of crap app games these days, but a lot of people forget that proprietary handhelds 10-15 years ago were inundated with shovel-ware games, often half-assed knock off platformers of decent console games cobbled together for the Holiday shopping season. Sure there were great games, Link's Awakening, WarioLand and Pokemon come to mind, but these were the exceptions not the rule. Developers and Publishers need to start taking handheld games seriously if they want us as consumers to pay top dollar.
