HW is a given, SW is a stretch. Historically portables don't sell games as much as home consoles do. |
Historically? Historically there was only one major handheld player on the market to begin with. Things like Gamegear, Neo Geo Pocket, Wonderswan and etc couldn't even compare to Game Boy. Now in this generation, its been a complete reversal, where we're seeing console sales deminishing (aside from key titles) and handheld sales seeing MASSIVE increases (accross even 'casual' titles).
This generation there is no 'PS2' for consoles, while the DS is surpassing most past consoles in both Hardware and Software. The only console for DS to surpass is PS2.
