The problem with comparing smartphones with 3DS is the same as comparing an apple to bananas

So in the end you can't really compare them! You can't compare the sales of a phone with the sales of a gaming machine! The phone is obviously going to win as it is more vital in everyone's life while the gaming device is just part of a hobby.

People tend to forget that Apple also has an iPod Touch.. Which are a lot bought buy parents as cheaper alternative to a smartphone.. And as an alternative to dedicated handhelds.. Like it or not..

The iPod Touch reached 100 million units last May

They're a lost cause of hypocrites that will use anything to discredit any portable device that plays games if said device dislodges their favored console from top spot.

 

Too bad the reality is mobiles have a far higher use ADR, a far higher base of actual gamers and far higher revenue on games, so they can whine about how it 'doesn't count' all they want, they can be hypocrits and claim mobile games "arent real games but the facts remain facts, the mobile market absolutely trounces dedicated handhelds in both overall user base and game playing user base.

 

Yes not every mobile tablet or iPod user plays games but you can bet your ass of the 3bln+ android/iOS/wm users worldwide, even if only 1% played games regularly, that's still 30,000,000 gamers, but to say only 1 in 100 people play games on their phones is laughable.

 

Mobile isn't going anywhere, that's why Microsoft and Sony embrace it with thier own phones, and why Nintendo tried to snag a share of the pie, mobiles tablets and iPods are all gaming capable devices, even if someone installs only one game and plays that game just once, it still counts.

 

But reality falls on hand covered ears, you can't teach people things they refuse to hear.
