The HD consoles are the only home consoles.

The fact that more & more new content in theaters is recorded in 3D under every genre including comedy & romance, shows that it's moving more sales in the theaters. We went from 45 3D movies in 2012 to around 70 3D movies in 2013, so clearly it's successful when the only movie this year converted from 2D is both Star Trek 2 & the re-releases excluding what's showing in the Egyptian theater this September which are all recorded in 3D despite being re-releases.

The sales of 2D HD TV have drop like a mothertrucker, while the sales of 3D TVs continues to rise.

And if what you said about the PSP/PS Vita was true then 3rd parties wouldn't be making games for the Wii like The Last Story & Xenoblade Chronicles & Epic Mickey 1 & Crystal Chronicles The Crystal Bearers & Pandora's Tower because the GameCube software sales as well as the Wii software sales where mediocre, especially the 3rd party sales on these 2 home consoles.

And no one would make another Superman movie so soon after Superman Returns and we know it. And Sin City sequels where canned during the 2D era of the 21st century. The Great Gatsby is all about 3D cinematography to tell the story. And I could go on.

And why is that?  If nobody cared about HD, then why are the PS2 and Wii not still dominating?  You can't say games, because using your logic, the fact that publishers made HD games means that people love HD.

Ticket sales are still well below their peak 11 years ago in the US, and that is with more movies being released than ever.  Three out of the top 4 movies last year were not released in 3D.  It would seem based on the data that 3D is being used to squeeze more money out of a smaller market.  If people were going crazy about 3D, surely they'd be seeing more movies, not less.

The sales of TV's overall have dropped.  Surely if the public was chomping at the bit for 3D this wouldn't be the case.  All those hundreds of millions with HDTV's they apparently didn't care about ought to be rushing out to buy 3DTV's.  Also 3DTV's are still a small minority of overall TV sales.  Once again, if the public doesn't care about HD and loves 3D, why are they buying more HDTV's?  That's even assuming people are buying 3DTV's for 3D content.  A lot of times if you want a higher end TV it will be 3D whether you want it or not.

Three out of five of those Wii games you mentioned were published by Nintendo.  Also the Gamecube got a Crystal Chronicles game that sold moderately well.  So that leaves Epic Mickey which was released four years into the Wii's life when it had already sold significant amounts of hardware.  Not in anyway equivalent to the PSV situation.  I really don't see your point.  I could name five random Vita games too, but that doesn't mean it is getting good support.

It has been 7 years since Superman Returns.  They rebooted Batman after 8 years, Spider-Man after 5 years, Hulk after 5 years.

I just really don't understand what goes on in your head.
Movie reboot or sequel is announced with 3D.  It never would have happened without 3D!
A game is released for the 3DS with 3D in the title.  Would have been on Vita if not for 3D!
3DTV's might be outpacing HDTV sales, though that data never seems to actually get posted.  People don't care about HD, love 3D!
Some games were released on the Wii. Therefore all games would be on Vita/consoles if not for the 3D in 3DS!
3DS has a Kingdom Hearts and Resident Evil.  3DS is getting all the support, consoles only have FFXIII and RE6! (do you really think these are the only games on PS3/360 for some reason you've brought it up multiple times.)

I could go on, but there's not much point.  There just isn't any logic to your claims.  This isn't even getting into the made up numbers you've posted in the past.


The PS2 has still sold more then the PS3 & 360. Same goes for the Wii which is still ahead by around 25 million.

The PS3 & 360 won't sale as much in lifetime sales then the Wii & PS2.

The reason why ticket sales are still low from 11 years ago is because of bootlegs (as shown in Seinfeld LOL) & recently streaming via Netflix & Hulu plus & etc. The only reason people have to go to theaters when they can stream the 2D movies online and download the bootlegs is because there is now 3D movies that you won't be able to view in 3D online yet. Cable lost sales to Netflix as well and to a smaller extent the other streaming providers. And the ticket price of 3D movies is going down while the price of 2D movies is going up to match dead even later this year in theaters.

The sales of 2D HD TVs have drop fast which has drag the TV market down, but 3D TVs sales are up higher & higher these days. So that just shows that no one wants HD is all.

And the moderate at best software sales of the Wii is what I mean, because 3rd party Devs still continue to make new games exclusively for the Wii despite the Wii having nothing but bad to moderate software sales thruout its lifespam and the GameCube before it as well in software sales. The PS3 & 360 have been sharing their games with each other and the PC & Wii U.

Batman was successful and so was spider-man so of course they got reboots easily. But Superman has been going down hill since Superman 3 let alone 4 & 5(Returns). The Superman reboot is way to risky for any studio to touch with a 50 foot poll, so to take a chance on that would mean they would need something more then just a good script to expect a profit in box office sales. But you clearly don't know what it's like for Hollywood to even consider making reboots of movies that did poorly in the box office like DareDevil & super Mario bros., and ey are making a Super Mario Bros. 2 as Jon Hamm mention on Jimmy Kimmel Live when he revealed that he went for the casting call to play Luigi but got turn down.

And I was talking about the 3DS not sharing games like monster hunter 4 & kingdom hearts 3D, while the HD consoles get low quality games like resident evil 6 & FF13 and they aren't even exclusives and they have such poor quality.
