Except, they aren't. The 3DS continues to sellout to this day. Phones have been around for some time now.
Nintendo actually sells consoles for a profit, unlike Microsoft and Sony.
Phones simply don't deliver the gaming experience people once thought they would. Tap controls don't work great for traditional gaming experiences though, and lots of people still want traditional gaming experiences.
Nintendo has just kind of always done their own thing. They have a business model that makes them money, and they stick to it. It may be outside of what the industry leaders do. They're a fiscally conservative company that just goes about their business as best they can.
Has anyone seen any info regarding pre-order on the Pro Controller yet?
