Prices must be down then, I remember when they launched at like $90. It's still an added cost though. With console you usually get a controller with the system. This is an add on most people wouldn't have.
Yes, but the 3DS launched at $250 (and is still over $150). That's already a high entry cost. The smartphone is a sunk cost.

Correct. This just cuts into that massive install base that mobile thrives on.

I agree that it's a shrinking market but Nintendo does't need to whore themselves out to the Apple or Android app store quite yet, especially when they are still content re-re-re-releasing old games on their own platform.
