Ah, but they do. Only on forums such as this they sometimes don't when it's closemindedly convenient, but in reality they do, very much.

You can claim they're not in competition until you're blue in the face - they compete on the only front that matters in the end: for the money and time consumers are willing to spend on such entertainment, and that's a simple truth and fact, whether anyone likes it or not. There's just no way around it. Tablets and smartphones compete with handhelds and consoles for that matter, too, and are destroying all of them in sales.

I agree. Anything entertainment wise and esspecially other means of gaming are in competition for the consumers money. I'm glad somebody else realizes this.

3DS & PS4 do compete with each other.

Wrong. If I am hungry all food doesnt enter my mind. If I want take out then take out places are "competeing" vs a sit down restraunts. Even more specific would be type of food.

If I want a videogame console to plug into my living room plasma then I dont decide whether I want a 3ds or PS4.

Youre assuming that when one thinks of a purchase they simply make a blanket decision regardless of variables. Not only is price a consideration but to ignore the differences simply because you control polygons with a joystick is rudimentary. Mobile vs Console are different markets regardless of price simply based on the entire purpose of the hardware.

If you want to say "entertainment" competes its a slippery slope that wont end because then we argue about movie sales vs software consoles. Blu Rays vs NFL tickets. PPV vs Broadway.

A 4 inch portable 3ds is a different form of entertainment than a home console plugged into a bigscreen, like it or not.
