Nintendo and their addiction to failure.

The point of the argument is that people who want to play games on the move would rather have a smartphone as a gaming platform.

An argument that ignores the difference of games selection between smartphones and the 3DS. Why would someone want a smartphone as their main gaming platform if it doesn't have the games that they like to play on the move? (or they play like crap in the smartphone port). The opposite is also true, why would someone want a Nintendo 3DS if it doesn't have the games that they like to play on the move? (or they are more convenient in a smartphone).

I miss when Nintendo was actually competitive with their tech. The SNES, N64 and Gamecube were powerful consoles. Then again, it wouldn't make a difference, since I've known their flagship games for twenty years and am sick of them. Until they stop milking their same old cartoon games and make a big push with new IPs, I'll keep ignoring them.

They certainly have a lot of catching up to do to make a variety of games like the PS and XB systems but there are iterations of their IPS I do hope they keep making:

1. Mario 3D
2. Zelda games
3. Smash Brothers
4. Mario Kart

Wii U Smash Brothers and Mario Kart alone made the $300 price tag of the Wii U palatable. They brought something new and fun to the table.
