"[3DS] is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device”
Sony have recently revealed that the shocking 3DS rebound seen over the Christmas period has encouraged them and proved that there is still space in the market for a dedicated handheld device.
The release of the PlayStation Vita hasn't been promising so far but like the 3DS, the PS Vita is most likely still 'finding its feet' and Jim Ryan, SCEE president and CEO, believes that 3DS is 'confounding the naysayers'.
“One of the encouraging things about 3DS’ sales performance at Christmas is that it is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device, and to that extent we were encouraged by how 3DS did over the last month.”
Ryan went onto say that smartphone's pose no threat as the Vita offers a far more impressive and rich experience.
“There are two distinct markets. The quality, the immersiveness, the richness of the experience that we believe we are going to offer on Vita, way exceeds anything that we believe to be available on any smartphone.”
Despite the constant doom and gloom of industry analysts it seems that Sony is confident their handheld has a place in the market and that Nintendo has already proved the worth of dedicated handheld devices.
