Nintendo, the darling of the gaming industry just a few short years ago, has come under increasing criticism, over the past few months. The 3DS has been a disaster, and the company is haemorrhaging money at a frightening rate.
However, despite all of this, the firm has refused to turn to an obvious money-making scheme – developing games for phones.
“This is absolutely not under consideration,” the company’s president said recently. “If we did this, Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo. Having a hardware development team in-house is a major strength. It’s the duty of management to make use of those strengths.”
The company is hoping that it’s price cut for the 3DS will revitalise its flagging flagship handheld.
