Handheld sales>>>> console sales.

thats the thing handheld vs home console. tell me when the Wii passes it becasue then it will be the same market.


It's the same market when the same types of games are made for the same demographics.


you try to take a Wii on the road with you. It wont be very entertaining. handheld gaming is gaming on the go not gaming in a room in your house.


Only about 20% true. A lot of people play DS in their living room, bedroom, bathroom..... but in their house. Mostly because the act of being mobile requires your mobility to be performed for you - you can't drive while playing a DS, for example, at least I wouldn't recommend it.

And for that matter, Wii seems to have a pretty portable nature itself.... easy to hook up, one chord, small.... it's great to carry in a laptop-sized case while on the go... in the motel, at your parents', to and from the dorm room, etc etc.


 you have to remember that handhelds were designed for cartrips, taking to school and playing during breaks, plane trips, etc. And you know what I was meaning. The fact you dont have to have TV in your car to play it or use a TV is the main concept of portable/handheld gaming device. Its the same thing with computers Desktops arent supports to be moved around a ton. Of course people do it. Is it practical? hell no. Useful in a BYOB comp, hell yes. lol


another point is that handhelds are more inexpensive, yet they seem to not get any big franchises, but thiis seems to be changing.

Example Dragon quest 9
