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?

Nintendo knows how to run a business. It's been around longer than time itself. I don't see a total end to Nintendo through this. I see them expanding a newer market. Also, I do think the fact that casual phone games that people use microtransactions in has changed the aim of a lot of companies. Like you mentioned, Konami ditched one of the greatest creative minds they could ever dream of to pursue mobile gaming. [spoiler]I really hope Kojima continues developing games. An all out bidding war between publishers should be going for his next project. Kojima understands the industry and gamers better than anyone else right now in the industry. He always delivers.[/spoiler]
