Mobile gaming is killing dedicated handhelds like Youtube is killing TV. Take that as you will.

Change youtube to IPTv and you may have a point...


Not really.  IPTV is mainly a different means of delivering the same content.  Youtube is a cheaper way to distribute video content which typically focuses on smaller developers, shorter videos, and lower budget offerings.  Seems the more apt analogy.

Downfall of cable to IPTV has nothing to do with content but advertising revenue. IPTV isn't killing TV because of people content but because advertising model isn't able to cover the losses on the cable side.

IPTV has to play by internet advertising rules which are vastly different than the ones cable TV industry set in stone few decades ago.


Like I said it's a different means of delivering the same content.  Whereas 3DS vs Android is different content entirely.

Point taken, but the content is only different while there is an audince willing to watch it and pay for it... The audience and money spent on exclusivbe gaming content on dedicated handhelds is on the decline.

I really doubt we will see a non Android based PS Vita 2. Nintendo may keep its handheld business alive for another decade but even they are getting a lot of pressure to support the other mobile platforms.
