I never said i wanted to enter the stock market . Still doesnt mean your not using strawman tactics to try downplay the point im making, and worse thing is when i pointed out to you thats what you where doing and explained how you didnt even deny it, instead you went on to another strawman tactic to try defeat my 2nd point -_- . How can the 3DS be failing if its YoY sales are going up? really?.

Down YOY everywhere but Japan, a small market that doesn't follow the trends of the rest of the world. Short term success in the hear and now is what the 3ds has (in Japan and Japan only). I again bring up the analogy of the cd player salesman in an Ipod age. Sales of cd players didn't just vanish over night. People in the world (except Japan) play games on phones, they don't have pocket space for handhelds anymore. If you think high Japanese sales are the end all be all and that nintendo handhelds will be around forever, thats your business. And the wiiU is in an even worse spot arguably.

And the Vita is facing even worse issues.  The whole videogame industry as we know it can be at a crossroad.  Things may change, where you aren't going to get the gaming you know and love, but be pushed into platforms without regular controllers, because the market spoke up.  Things can be changing.

Heck, as an example, I will give myself.  Ok, maybe I am a rare exception, but I have seen HUGE downward mobility and don't have the same funds I used to.  I am also older and any day I can get a decent meal, to the gym, and also tabletop gaming once a week in, I am set.  As of now, what is offered as console choices, and even portable, isn't as strong of a drive.  To be blunt here, a tablet that allows me to access the Internet and play boardgame stuff, is of far greater interest now.  I just can't see myself adding any new console.  And this is from someone who has had everything, and does game design and oversees a group on Facebook dedicated to gaming.  Yes, this is me.  Sorry, but adding a 3DS just isn't here now, nor is a Vita, nor any of the consoles.  Why the heck do I drop like $400+ for initial run of games, and the platform when I hardly am playing what I have now?  I also work full-time, and being on an electronic device with my free time isn't a top priority.

Am I some sort of rare exception, or normal?  If I am normal, what does that say about the state of the industry?  Don't think Nintendo is the only one with a problem here.

There is far more excitement for ps4- true next gen system- then there is for wiiU. Google trends confirms that. And of course nintendo is all alone. Sony and MS will have the backing and support of every publisher on earth in order to make their consoles a success, which is something nintendo doesn't have.
