I wonder which I'd be more concerned about; especially when you consider the 3DS lineup.

We are now in the 8th generation all the consoles older than the 3DS are dead and no longer relevant, yet even though the 3DS is less than 2 years old it's already down year on year while the Vita and WiiU aren't even worth talking about sales wise.
