Before Wii U released, it was all but inconcievable that the successor to a console that sold 100 million would drop by 80%, yet here we are.

Before the Wii released, it was all but inconceivable that the successor to the GameCube would outsell the successor to the PlayStation 2, yet here we are.

There's been a clear and recent precedent set for a massive shrinking of Nintendo's marketshare, and with the handheld market having already shrunk by 50% this gen, the future for dedicated portable gaming looks pretty bleak from where I'm standing.
