"Why can't console gaming still be a market and co-exist with touch screen games?"
It can it'll just be a tiny market and any sensible company that wants to keep making big boy profits will have to be part of the larger market. There's still a few companies that make pagers, they just don't sell 50 million a year like they did in 1990.
"Handheld games are a market in itself and Nintendo is at the top of it"
They are now in 3rd place. Standalone handheld gaming devices are under the same pressure that point and shoot cameras and portable music players and all sorts of other devices are under.
"why would you give in to your "competition" and make games for their "console"."
Because your consoles flopped and you can make more money that way. Sega did it. Atari did it. NEC did it.
