I was perusing Yahoo and came across [url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/12/10/it-may-be-time-for-nintendo-to-make-games-not-consoles/?partner=yahootix]this[/url] article and decided to post it on here as I feel he makes a pretty well formed argument and have been of the same opinion for a couple of years, but have never seen anyone (nor been able to myself) word it as well as him.
I was going to provide a snippet of the first few paragraphs, but the site wouldn't let me highlight anything (that or my pc is being stupid) anyway, here's another [url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2013/12/10/it-may-be-time-for-nintendo-to-make-games-not-consoles/?partner=yahootix]link[/url] but be warned it's a bit lengthy.
Thoughts?

I believe Handhelds would be the way to go for them, the problem is that even with the success and profits from their handhelds, they still aren't doing as well as they could be. Someone cited that even with the money from the 3DS, Nintendo is still bleeding out and it isn't going to be enough to stabilize them in the years to come after the Wii U's flop at the beginning and the lack of interest as it's been around. They need something game-changing, and they need it soon. Square Enix and a lot of other gaming related companies/publishers are in the same place that they are, a collapse of the gaming market could be coming up, and things like Cod and Battlefield are all that's keeping some things afloat it's theorized. Will explain if needed.
