The question is how many people buy a smartphones mainly to play games.
Comparing sale of smartphones with consoles is stupid


That's the problem isnt't it.  You assume that console gamers only buy them to play games?  Why is the most popular feature of any console Netflix?  It is quite obvious nowadays, that people buy devices and expect them to be swiss army knives.  They want to buy 1 device and get rid of 3 others.  

Back to your point, how many are buying for games?  PRobably not many.  How many are gaming on their phones?  Almost all of them...

Console gamers buy a console mainly because they have games that's they interest them if they don't like a numbers of games they would not buy a console even if you offer them a lot of multimedia functionnality,if multimedia functionnality so why ps4 is outselling x1 and why ds and 3ds some more then psp and vita.

People buy consoles because they have a lot games that they interest them and use multimedia functionnality because they already have a console and people buy a smartphone because it can talk with it and buy games because they already have a smartphones.

 



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m
