That's where the market share and userbase has gone. DS and PSP did nearly 250 million. 3DS and Vita are going to be under 85 million.


That's not the best way to play a portable game though. There's no way you could make a good Mario, Zelda... really any great Nintendo game solely on a touch screen. Yes it's possible to make it functional, but great, you'd have to start a new franchise from the ground up.

Oh I agree completely. I play a few mobile games, but it's largely terrible. I love my 3DS and Vita. The place for the big budget games are shrinking. They should be cross platform imo.

It's possible that they believe the mobile market will crash though and I wouldn't blame them. Mobile games are setting up just like atari did with crap everywhere and a lack of quality.

It's definitely a bubble. The only major difference is that everyone is going to buy a smartphone with game capabilities. The number of smartphones only increase though, so you won't ever have to worry about a lack of potential consumers.
