Here we go... Jesus this looks bleak. This is no ordinary Summer slump, this is terrible.

YOY:

Wii: DOWN 24%
PS3: DOWN 45%
360: DOWN 83% (anniversary of slim launch in EMEAA)

DS+3DS combined: DOWN 57%
PSP: DOWN 60%

PS2: DOWN 75%

that's quite frightening, I think the market is just getting to saturated now, although that doesn't explain hte 3DS, so I'm not sure

I really think the industry and particularly gamers (the type of gamer thats frequents a gaming site) is vastly underestimating the effect that Smartphones and Tablets are having (going to have) on dedicated handhelds.  The market will be decimated over the next couple of years imo.

 

No they overestimating the Smartphone and talblets effect do you think Smartphone gamers will buy a 60 dollars games and do you think console game will buy 1 dollars games? 

No they are different.

The reason PSP didn't sell much more then 70 millions is because of lack of games and the reasons why 3DS sold badly is because of the price and the lack of good game actually.
