| MaxwellAllen said: Both the 3ds and Vita are being obliterated by every smartphone and tablet on the market. King = Apple/Android Whatever is left of the ravaged handheld market, 3ds has the majority of that. Nothing special, nothing that will make news or change the current trajectory. That's reality. Handheld market will never again be the primary driver. Whether 3ds or Vita succeed at this point is fairly irrelevant lol. Both are a dying breed. |
Sorry, but you are missing out something REALLY important: the "mobile gaming" bubble is about to burst. Of course, at least once a month one GREAT GAME is released for iOS, and at least once in a trimester we have something HUGE for Android, but the TON of shovelware is IMPRESSIVE. People are DESPERATE to become the next Rovio, and they are trying too hard, but the mobile market will never be as profitable as the portable/console market.
You can see this each and every wednesday, with the release of new titles for the AppStore. Great games are becoming really hard to find, and the myriad of freemium games that try to earn some money, or seeing great games from the past (like PunchQuest), that needed to switch from freemium to paid app because of the incredibly LOW financial return.
Really, mobile gaming may be great, but will NEVER kill portable gaming. And the 35 million units of the current portable gen can show you that this won't be a real problem.
Dunno what to display here, soon I'll know what to put.
