mrstickball said: I would compare it to retail store revenue vs. Wal-Mart and the other big-box retailers. There was always huge amounts of money in retail for many years. However, it was always distributed between hundreds of thousands of smaller retailers, which couldn't offer discounts or a large range of goods. Enter Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer and CostCo (and the rest). They de-balkanized the market. The money was still there and growing, but the earnings amalgamated into fewer stores....Which meant that those that sold products through said stores would earn more money, and raise gross revenue. |
Then I'd compare smartphones to PCs, what they essentially are. Does this mean 'de-balkanized' PC market is automatically pose a threat to home console business?

Not at all. 3DS future lineup is solely depends on Nintendo own efforts, none of 3rd party titles ever entered top-10, very few cracked top-20 of DS game library. Why should I?
