You're logic doesn't make any sense. The PSV and 3DS are handhelds, different market and shouldn't be compared. Besides the handheld market is shifting towards smartphones and tablets in the west.

The Wii-U is selling like the Wii would have sold without all the casuals buying it because of the motion controls, and only fans of Nintendo's franchises are jumping in at this point. Everyone else is waiting for the PS4 and the Next Xbox.

The PS4 will likely sell better than the PS3 did because it will launch at a lower price.


I don't think you can really pretend that the two markets are completely disconnected. You realize they're all video game platforms, right?

Anyway, your interpretation seems to be just twisting the facts to try to fit it into the "worthless casuals" stereotype. The people who bought the PSP are really not the kind to be driven away by smartphones. The fact that they're gone in equal numbers to Nintendo's casuals demonstrates that there's really a much bigger problem afoot here.

Then explain to me how PS3 and 360 are outselling Wii-U 4:1 and 3:1 while being about 7 years old and with new systems likely releasing this fall. The Wii-U is the problem, not the industry.

Also i expect the sales of the 3ds or the Vita to rocket into space once one of them is hacked and can play copied games.
