Also, 3DS outsold PS4 + Xbone combined.
Also, X360 outsold Xbone by 100k, but 3DS still outsold it + PS4, combined.
Also, 3DS outsold Vita by over 900k.

3DS dominates everything.


Yeah, the 3DS is a handheld which can be purchased for less than $200. Of course its going to be easier to pick up. Even i was contemplating buying one just because it was so cheap. It shouldnt be compared to main consols though.


Based on this logic, we shouldn't compare Wii U sales to XBox one sales because of the price disparity. PS vita is cheaper than the new gen consoles but isn't selling better. People are buying the 3DS because they want it, not just because of it's price.


Not true. I said consoles should be separated from handhelds completely. Handhelds are more affordable at launch than consoles and available to take around with you. Different group of gamers. It seems some people in Japan dont even play consoles anymore, but still pick up handhelds. 

The Vita has no known characters for it and Sony wont subject game development of their second tier characters solely to the Vita like Nintendo does with theirs. They lack the games and the approachable television shows. That and no Monster Hunter that I know of. 

Sony made the PSP because Nintedo had a handheld without competition. Separate group.


Different group of gamers? really? Perhaps you are correct, but without any surveys/statistics how can we know? (unless you can point me in the direction of some). The 3DS is a dedicated gaming device, the next gen consoles are dedicated gaming devices. All entertainment sectors competes with each other because time and money spent on one thing is time and money not being spent on another. The more similar they are the more they have to compete with each other. The Xbox one is a bigger competitor to the PS4 than the 3DS because they are more similar but the 3DS is still a competitor to the PS4 because it is still similar, just less so.



Sales prediction, PS4: 122 Million, Xbox one: 50 million, Switch: 105 million.
