the main reason of a consoles success is if the consoles fan base manages to win arguments about which is the better system on gaming forums. fanboys on gaming forums are the number 1 reason a console is successful.
everytime a fanboy wins an argument or trolls a system, somebody else buys his system of choice

THIS.

If that was true, then the PS Vita would have outsold the 3DS with the 3DS struggling in sales in first 1 month & first 6 month & first 12 month & etc. sales.
