Should Nintendo Continue Making Their Own Hardware?

In the last Hypercritical episode of 2011 titled, “Blue Ocean”, John Siracusa goes into an hour explaining Nintendo’s situation and how the gaming industry parallels the tech industry.

A few online articles have spread calling Nintendo to drop their hardware and focus game development on Apple’s iOS platform. John, however, disagrees and recounts Nintendo’s history to point out what exactly made them successful over the years, something they shouldn’t forget going forward.

Steve likes. The whole episode goes into other topics and is pretty long so just skip to 1hour 12min to hear the good part. (^_-)
