Adults and handhelds... sorry that combination made me giggle a bit. In the day and age of tablets and smartphones not that many adults are going to buy a handheld gaming console, let alone take it with them as an extra device.

It's a dying market.

How much of the 3DS' market to you suspect to be adults vs Kids? Out of curiosity.

Really hard to say, in the day's of the DS i knew several adults who owned one or atleast hade a shared one with their kids. Except one all of them have moved on to tablet mobile, or console/PC at home. Every 3DS that was bought was for kids. Looking at the Vita interest by adult consumers has al but dissappeared.

 

If i hade to make an estimate that in the West we are talking 10%, 20% tops of the 3DS buyers being adults. Japan is a different story offcourse.
