Everyone knows comparing the PS3 and PS4 to the PS2 is silly.
But comparing the 3DS to the DS is fine because it's Nintendo so like, whatever man.
Or some other crud.
It's dumb. |
PS3 WAS compared to PS2...a LOT. 3DS is compared to DS because it's a direct successor. PS4 is often compared to PS3 (it's dominating it) and even PS2 (it's comfortably ahead of it). It's the same with everything else. PSV is compared to PSP. One is compared to 360.
It's not that 3DS is being bashed, it's just that it's massively down on last generation. That is not an opinion or a biased statement. It's a fact you can check out for yourself.

I'm unsure where I implied the 3DS isnt selling worse than the DS. I'm not blinding myself from facts or deluding myself or whatever you're trying to say.
I just think expecting a console to sell just like it's predesessor, when it's predessesor is the highest selling of it's kind of all time, in a market that's shrinking due to smartphones and tablets, is....silly.

I never implied any of that...
But okay, that's what you think and you give valid reasons for the declines. But if we didn't compare the sales we wouldn't know if handhelds were declining or not...What exactly do you have against the comparisons?
