Tech Blogger Says Kids Today Would Rather Reach For An iPad Mini Than 3DS

Technology blogger John Gruber from the popular blog Daring Fireball says that most kids today would reach for an iPad Mini rather than a Nintendo 3DS if the devices were put next to each other. Gruber believes that if Nintendo doesn’t eventually make video games for iOS then the company is no longer going to remain relevant to children growing up.

“A kid asking “What’s a Nintendo?” may sound preposterous to the ears of an adult weaned on Mario and Zelda, but trust me, put an iPad Mini and a 3DS on a table next to each other, and most kids today will reach, if not jump, for the iPad. If you don’t see that as an existential threat for Nintendo, there’s nothing I can say that will change your mind. A Nintendo that doesn’t make games for iOS is a Nintendo that doesn’t reach today’s kids; a Nintendo that doesn’t reach today’s kids is a Nintendo with no future.”

this is cause kids these days have no idea how great nintendo is :P lol, but yeah i not sure what Nintendo should think about this, personally i would hate if they started making games for ios, then i would miss out on games, that would be better made on 3ds or wii u

Honestly if you put an iPad n a 3DS on a table I'm going for the iPad there's so much the can be done on a iPad the can't be done on a 3DS n kids know that about an iPad n don't know shit about a 3DS n keep in mind i grow up with nintendo so i don't blame kids for going for the iPad Nintendo is a dying company so I won't be surprise if kids won't even remember the name nintendo in a few years.
