I think Nintendo's valuables are not in hardware (anyone can build a hand-held console these days) but in the huge library of very famous games.
If 3DS has lost the game, nothing stops Nintendo from re-releasing some of popular old games for iPhone (perhaps developing a descent emulator for iOS) and keep writing more excellent games in future.
Example: iD made another stash of green from Apple's app store when Carmack released Wolfenstein 3D for iPhone.
- kabdib 15y agoIf they do ports, then Nintendo stops being a hardware company. They'd have to fire a /lot/ of people, for starters.
- r00fus 15y agoIt'd be great for Nintendo if Apple's game market allowed for decently priced games, but hell even StreetFighter4 is like $7 now. Not only is Apple disrupting Nintendo's hardware strategy, they're disrupting Nintendo's software pricing. There is no livable future for Nintendo as an Apple software shop.
