Without the 3DS, sony would have alot more market share. Nintendo and sony would probably be similiar when it comes to marketshare

I don't get your point... the 3DS is a product that will keep selling.

Unlike the PSP, which is falling off.

If the 3DS was not out yet, Nintendo's sales would not be as high. I don't think the DS would be selling like that, if the 3DS still was not out yet. The 3DS takes up alot of marketshare on it's own, taking over HALF of consoles sold in japan, according to your graph. So the market would be alot smaller without the 3DS

Can't really deduct the 3DS from the equation just because it is the only console not failing in Japan... Sony has a new handheld out too, it's not Nintendo's fault it isn't a success.

Not saying it's a bad thing though, the 3DS is a great handheld. In Japan at least, the sales are saying something, new consoles need to come out. The 3DS is a success because it is new, while people that wanted the other systems, probably got them already.
