"No surprise. Nintendo is going to become like SEGA, who gave up making hardware and focused on making games for all platforms. SEGA hardware business was brought down by SONY PS2 at the time (their last gaming console was the Dreamcast). Nintendo hardware business is all about handheld devices and iDevices have just taken its place. As a parent, how can you even consider buying a 3DS (a single purpose device) at the same price of an iPod Touch and close to an iPad. They're done." - fbrunel
