Why do analysts and the media in general always blame Nintendo's slow down on social gaming ect. Completely ignoring that 5/6 year old HD HW are having their best years, so no, social gaming clearly isn't having an affect on home consoles, it's just Wii experiencing the usual sales curve.


That doesnt explain the weak 3DS performance and the inevitable PSVita's poor sales performance

People on this forum really need to start to accept that other styles of gaming... mobile phones, pads and yes social gaming ARE going to have a massive impact on consoles.... particularly dedicated handhelds.

And now a raft of people will come and tell me that I am wrong... again.

Lets just wait and see how this year pans out shall we.

15million 3DS is weak?
So I guess the Vita is super doomed in your eyes right?

So mobile phones and social gaming are going to impact consoles? How? 360 just had its best year in 2011. Next-gen consoles could have good enough browsers to play Facebook games. Its just up to Sony and MS to include them.

Social "games" like Farmwille or Citywille aren't going to have ANY impact on the console market. I don't see myself or any of my friends playing Farmville instead of Call of Duty any time soon.
