| Jranation said: If the 3ds is the only handheld console that is 'fading out fast', then nintendo is doing something wrong. BUT, theres also the PSVita which is currently like 1/10 of how much the psp sold. So this means that, smartphones have taken a M A double S I V impact to the psvita and 3ds. Society continues to change. |
PSV is not 1/10 of PSP currently, it's slightly above that and its time on the market cannot compare to the same time PSP needed to achieve 80-something millions.
But anyway, I'm not saying PSV is doing well, what I want to say is that smartphone/tablet gaming hurts both handhelds, unlike some here that rather believe it only affects Vita because it's the one handheld with less 1st party support, but let me tell you one thing: nowadays more and more people rather buy tablets & smartphones, spending their money just once than buying a dedicated videogaming machine that needs to later buy games and adons for it. For those parents it's just the smartest move to make and kids that never experienced anything else won't care. For hardcore gamers that already got contact with handhelds, they will keep buying them and that's where most hardware numbers are coming from I think.
