Yup, Nintendo's strategy was ingenious. They are making insane amounts of profits this fiscal year, because the 3DS will have shipped about 15m units during this period.

I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice what Nintendo did with the 3DS.

...

Still PSV has a chance to do well. 360 and PS3 started off pretty slow, and now they are doing alright. 3DS might have some struggle time end of life because of the relatively low level graphics (that and some phones nowdays are 3D too!).

Well, it takes a great mind to understand Nintendo's masterplan.

...

PSV and PS360 isn't a comparable scenario. The PS3 was promised great third party support and when it failed everything went multiplatform, so the 360 benefitted as well. The PSV has nothing really big on the horizon except for inferior versions of PS360 games. The 3DS is powerful enough to run the games that the majority of Japanese developers want to make and Western publishers would like to see handhelds die, so the one and only company that has to save the PSV from irrelevance is Sony. Whether they do it with price cuts, first party games, moneyhatting third parties for exclusives or a combination of the aformentioned is their choice. Although given the 3DS's lead, they'll have to do all three.

This is true, but it could all change with some support from CAPCOM and a good PSV exclusive Monster Hunter. We will have to wait until Captivate..
