Handhelds are dead outside of Japan, I know its not pleasing to some but you cant escape it, smartphones have severely affected Handheld sales. I think theyre also affecting consoles as well to a lesser degree [People have only a limited amount of money to spend on entertainment, each dollar spent on an iphone game is one less spent on a console game] which doesnt bode well for the next generation wii ps xbox's


Most people already have 1 of the current-gen consoles. It's natural for sales to slow down this late in the cycle.

Yes thats correct but it doesnt address my main point. Handhelds, keep in mind these socalled old & tired consoles ala the Ps3 and Xbox360 are easily outselling the new and fresh handhelds. With Sony and Ninedo selling them at a loss and also their companies losing money I cant see them dropping their prices or spending up large on advertising either. Are there still people that think smartphones are harming handholds sales?

 Bet with tbone51: Pokeon X & pokemon Y will not sell more than 8 million in 2013
