I have an iPhone to listen to music and go on the Internet, and occasionally play games. I play my DS to play while I'm in the plane, car, or when I'm bored in bed. I have my iPhone games to kill time while waiting for the bus or in line for 5 minutes, etc. There is a huge difference between a dedicated gaming machine and a phone that is used for multiple things. The only reason people play Farmville is because it's free, no one would have given a crap about it if it was for money. And Pachter said that the Wii and PS3 were doomed beforer they came out, so his words should not be taken seriously.
Well, iPhone was never a gaming system. People have iPhones to listen to music and go to the Internet, they just have these games as side dishes, but if someone really wants a true gaming system to play real games on the bus, I'm pretty sure he would choose a dedicated gaming handheld. Nintendo should make 1 dollar first party titles to challenge Apple, a Mario minigame collection similar to the one in SM64DS or NSMB with online leaderboards would be awesome.
It would be pretty awesome if they made an RPG with your Mii character, and StreetPass would let you gain party members from the 3DS you pass by's Mii Plaza, and every day there would be a different Nintendo themed enemy (Bowser, DeDeDe, Ganondorf, etc.). A fan can dream...
