Reality check for all gamers. Apple has sold 100 millions iPads to date and they cost $500, with that in mind a report shows that 40% of user use the iPad primarily for gaming. That means that you have 40 millions iPad out there used primarily for gaming, now if you compare this number to the number of 3ds and ps vitas out there you will see how big that is, specially when you have to consider that a 3ds and a ps vita together are less expensive that a single iPad.
Whether we like it or not tablets and phones are going to significantly affect the gaming market, for example i have decided not to buy a 3ds or a ps vita and instead got a new 4th gen iPad. Not only I'm able to play good quality games but i have the functionality of a note book included, plus the highest quality hardware in the market.

Pulled directly from your source:
"while 40 percent use it for playing games and enjoying entertainment. “Entertainment includes watching video, looking at photo and listening to music""
I'm struggling to think of something else someone would even use a tablet for other than videos, music, and games. But this 40% is not JUST games as you suggested.
The markets are completely different. I don't buy a tablet to play Call of Duty. This logic is just bunk. Tired of reading about it.

First i clearly said PRIMARILY for gaming, second I understand what you mean but think about it for a second is the same in gaming consoles, no one buys a console only for gaming any more. all consoles do the same things as most phones or tablets do for entertainment, search the web, listen to music, watch videos and gaming, so if only half of those 40 million use their iPad for gaming, plus all phone gaming and android gaming thats a lot whether we like to admit it or not.
