>>28090669Waning interest my left nut. Only raging fucking morons choose smartphone games over solid handheld titles.
Do you know how hard it is to find quality in that immense sea of shit that is smartphone games? Either the game sucks, the game is OK but the controls suck, or it is plagued with micropayments and advertising. There are very few games out there that tick all the boxes, and even if you find one you may as well just pirate it because it ultimately won't be worth the asking price.
And yet of all the 3DS games I have ever bought, I have never been disappointed. Hell, I was even considering getting a vita before rumours about the NX started (so I am waiting for some solid damn news.)
Actual gamers don't settle for phone games. At best they play the few good ones on the side and spend 90% of their time on PC/console/dedicated handheld. Even with Pokemon Go getting me to actually use my phone more often, it's totally blown out by my 3DS playtime (I still spend hours on my 3DS every day and mere minutes in go.)
If anything, interest in dedicated handhelds will rise if the NX actually lives up to the rumours.
