Miyamoto Describes Smartphone Gaming as Pathetic

To say smartphone and tablet gaming has blown up in recent years would be the understatement of the century; Apple has made a fortune off of the iTunes store, games like Angry Birds are known the Continent over, and Candy Crush probably leaves more people broke and crying than Las Vegas at this point. All praise aside, however, it did not fulfill the doomsday scenario that market analysts everywhere predicted; the end of handheld consoles. Nintendo, against all odds, managed to sell staggering numbers (over 40 million) of 3DS units. While this isnt anywhere close to the ridiculous potential on Facebook games and app stores, one would be hard pressed to call handheld gaming dead.
