nintendo just don't get it, people have phones so the mobile market is dead
why do they love to 4uk up? also rip to nintendo making home consoles.
The portable market isn't dead but it is in decline. You can see the impact of it when you look at 3DS sales in comparison to the DS sales. Nintendo is only delaying the inevitable. At some point they'll admit what I've been saying that it makes more sense for them to forgo making hardware all together and concentrate on making software for popular platforms. Nintendo as a 3rd party would likely be the #1 third party in gaming and the industry would be better for it.
I'm still laughing at people calling this a hybrid. It's a portable with TV out. Those have existed before, hell the PSP was one and nobody called that a hybrid.
This thing has many of the same problems the Wii U has. Different architecture from what's currently on the market. Designed around a gimmick. Weaker hardware than what's currently on the market. Nintendo heads using talking points they also used before the Wii U. To me it looks like Nintendo has finally given up on multiple fronts. They've given up on the home console market all together and they've given up on trying to attract developers to their hardware by making porting simple. They're now fully embracing a box they put out that pretty much only has their software on it and a handful of software from other developers.
If Nintendo can admit that there's no need for them to put out a traditional home console anymore then they're half way to admitting that they should put their games on home consoles that actually sell well.
