Dude, you know this continuing debate of yours is getting extremely annoying? In every thread that somehow mentions the words 'console', 'handheld' and 'sales' this is the only thing you have to say.

Handhelds play games, ergo that can be compared to home-consoles if someone wants to. They can also be compared as a seperate group if one wants to.

The end.


I will continue to do so every time I see some kid try an compare the two. They've never competed for sales and have never been in the same market (even the website we are having this argument on, seperates them via bar graphs lol) and to do so is ignorant beyond comprehension. If handhelds and consoles are the same market, then motorcycles and cars are in the same market.

Hint? They're not.

They are both vehicles for personal transportation are they not?

Yes, they are. But one costs around 3-5,000 and the other costs around 20-60,000 and are marketed toward different demographs and do not directly compete for sales. Sounds kinda fimilar, doesn't it?
