“Damn it, boys, we have to do something about this 3DS mess! Quick, what’s that show we never exhibit at, ever? TGS! Yeah, let’s do something there. What? I dunno, anything. Anything would be better than what we’ve been doing.”

How ironic that the idea of “good enough”—which had been so lucrative for Nintendo with the DS and Wii—will ultimately be the company’s undoing. At least in the portable market.
