PC's don't have any effect, granter, they have co-existed with consoles for decades for tablets and phones offer somewhat of an alternative for handhelds but not for home consoles. Gaming on the go with small screens and simple controls is perfect on these devices. The dedicated handheld is going away, just like the dedicated home console is gone, they do everything now. The difference lies in scale, hardware, sound and visuals and software. 3DS and Vita are dinosaurs in the modern age compared to new phones and tablets, I don't believe that these will co-exist like the PC and consoles, tablets/phones are a viable alternative and that is the key here. 3DS is selling well now but its starting to slow down, 2014 should see some big yoy drops and overall the handheld market is heading for 60-70% of the previous generations lifetime sale. In the same timespan, home console market has grown and the tablet/phone market has exploded. The handheld market is the only of the three that is shrinking right now. |
So we have to wait til January 2014 to see which one of us is right, LOL.
Well you got the 3DS prediction down for 39 million life time sales by end of 2K13. Well I will predict somewhere from 43 to 50 million by end of 2K13.
