Why do they need to "fight"? They already have the massive advantage of not being locked into Nintendo's expensive ecosystem. It's an entirely separate market of people who specifically want to play (new & non-emulated) Nintendo games and nothing else.

The fight part is debatable, but I thought the recommendations for future devices were all good ideas, and covers a lot of the shortcomings of many handheld PCs.

You're both totally right here. The article you linked was well written and had a bunch of good ideas about what players in the handheld market could do to make their products competitive and consumer friendly. I don't think many of the people commenting here actually read the article, which is too bad.

And yeah, I think Nintendo has and will continue to make hardware that is compelling to gamers of all kinds. There's plenty of room in the market for PC and Nintendo devices.
