65 million 3DS's sold beg to disagree about that 10%. Xbox gamers truly are the smallest fanbase in the market by a long shot.

We are talking about home consoles. There isnt an xbox handheld. Unless you want to include all phones that have Windows which microsoft easily beats nintendo in handhelds

No, you're talking about Nintendo gamers/fans.

Now who's trying to disconnect from reality lol? Phones are still being made with windows on? Those poor consumers... Phones aren't dedicated gaming devices by the way, but nice try.

Because most of us are not casuals...



If you include all windows tablets, phones, surface, microsoft easily wins in the handheld department! If you include vita and 3ds youd have to include these devices because microsoft has an exclusive lineup of games for the Windows store!



Because most people that just want to relax and play games aren't going to go on this site and spend hours on a forum. Most of us I assume are on this site more than we play video games.

What if you own a wii u and just play minecraft?



I don't see how that makes one disconnected from reality
Maybe from other realities but why should those matter to us

One problem with that is; for example if I buy samsung phone it doesn't mean I like Google just because their O.S. is on it. It would still need to be Microsofts Hardware, and a Handheld gaming console is still a gaming console a $99 HP windows tablet for netfix and some free to play apps wouldn't really be in the same category.



Forum communities have a large proportion for core/enthusiast gamers. However, the fraction of the video game market that comprises of core gamers is smaller.

What are you if you use a Wii U Pro controller to game on PC?
