Wii U/PS4/XB1 won't recapture sales magic of last gen, says Strategy Analytics

[Suke]

"While Wii U, Xbox One, and PS4 hold the promise and technological prowess to transform gaming in the living room, this may only benefit core gamers. Casual gamers are sufficiently happy with cheaper gaming options on more ubiquitous devices like smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and Digital Media Adapters, which will naturally depress the highs the industry achieved with the Nintendo Wii." - Strategy Analytics' director of connected home devices David Watkins 

And before you answer, think about it, don't think about us, the gamers/comsumers that follow gaming for a passion, think about the common comsumers, the one who buys smartphones and tablets. The casual market who bought Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360/Kinect and the PS3 for movies and games. Kinect Adventures and Wii Sport and Wii Sports Resort still sell like crazy each week.

To be honest, I don't just think smartphones and tablets are the only devices that's growing and replacing, I think its just Moble in general. Since tablets and phones are slowly turning into cameras and laptops, same thing could be happening with gaming to. With the Vita, 3DS, Nvidia Shield, ipod touch etc. As consumers want their camera and computer more mobile, maybe they want the same for gaming. Which explain why the 3DS is selling well.
