Back during Generation Seven when the PSP was momentarily outselling the DS, all we heard was about the handheld space. Once the DS began outselling the PSP, incredibly the handheld console market never appeared again in news reports. When the Wii outsold the PS3 and Xbox 360, somehow it was said the Wii wasn’t a ‘real console’ and news reports omitted it while only talking about the PS3 and Xbox 360.
Nintendo is only said to be a console company when competitors outsell it. Otherwise, Nintendo doesn’t make game consoles. It makes *something else*. Something for kids. Something like toys. But whatever it is, it isn’t a REAL dedicated game console. Unless it is being outsold. Then, suddenly, Nintendo is a console company."
