Apple sold 74 million iPhones in the three months of Oct-Dec '14 alone. To put that in perspective, Nintendo is struggling to hit 9 million 3DS' for their entire fiscal year (12 months) worldwide even with a new model revision. It's estimated that at least half of smartphone buyers game on their phone regularily/semi-regularily. And that's just iPhone alone, doesn't count other phone brands (Android) or tablets at all. Unless you live in 2004, odds are you know someone who plays smartphone games. |
Apparently the whole mobile dedicated gaming market is endangered, while Nintendo is leading now with 3DS and that's why it look's like they the one who got attack,. Nintendo need Vita as a competitor to hold dedicated gaming market. But unfortunately it will not stay that long with how Vita current sales.
