Who handed you a keyboard though?

When you  are 17, being popular enough to play video games as your career is like winning the lottery but I can see it’s losing its luster as you are approaching 30.  Glad she is trying to get herself a healthy work/life balance.  

Your turn Nintendo. Come on. 1080p screen, 8GB of RAM, 128GB storage and Tegra X2 maybe? 5-6k mAh battery? Please?

I am crushed by this, and I never even got to meet her in person. I can only imagine how devastated her family is.

I mean, they are pushing the index pretty hard. So I don’t think they’re out of the hardware business, just diverting resources towards VR instead of controllers.
