Does Pokemon Go mark the end of Nintendo?
Does Pokemon Go an augmented reality smartphone game mark the end of Nintendo? (Releases 2016).
Konami are all ready to jump ship, turfing out Kojima by his ear and cancelling Silent Hill, wtf were they thinking?
Has the casual smartphone gaming audience increase, damaged console sales?
Is this trend spelling the death to consoles allowing the PC to dominate the market? Is that why the PC market is worth more than all the console sales combined this year?
What do you think?

As poorly as the WiiU has sold, I'm not surprised they want to make some money back on their IPs, especially in their home market where mobile gaming is huge. 2. -blam!- Konami. They were thinking about the easiest way to make money with the least amount of investment and lowest risk. I think it's safe to say Konami is done when it comes to making games on platforms other than mobile. 3. I wouldn't say it's damaged console sales. Last I'd read this generation of consoles are selling remarkably well. 4. I don't think the console market is dying. The thing about PCs is that all sorts of people own them; schools and universities use them, parents use them for basic things like online shopping and facebook, people use them for gaming, and many businesses use them. In an age where computers are used more than ever, it only makes sense that PCs would have a larger market worth than consoles. We also need to take into account that consoles aren't as popular in many countries in Asia, where mobile gaming and PC gaming really is beginning to dominate gaming.
