Am I wrong, did people not read that thread or are we choosing to believe and disregard whatever we want? I'm sure the 3ds will be fine for now and I'm happy New Leaf is making so much more money than mobile games, but let's not kid ourselves. Handhelds have been affected by smartphones and it shows. It's just not cool having a handheld any more. Almost all my males friends had a psp and only one of them got a psv. Several also had a nds and kept showing it off and I've only seen three strangers holding a 3ds since it came out. It's all about iphones, Galaxy's etc. Unless handhelds make a comeback, I don't see them doing as well as internet people think or hope. |
You might not see them out in public as often but there was also a study (I can't find it but I'll show you links to sites asking where you play your 3DS and you will see a majority play it at home) on where you play your hand helds at and a majority of the % was at home. So unless you start knocking on doors and going into people's homes then you might not see an accurate representation of the consumer base.
