The decline to be as big? are you sure and besides HHs were suppose to die this gen but 2 are still standing strong despite the odds. Vita makes hefty profit despite the small user base and 3DS sold 50mil+ in less than 4 years. In japan 3DS is at 18mil, something no other console/HH will get close to this gen (and that 18mil fgure will be over 20mil end of the year with more potential growth!)


Yeah last gen there were 230m handhelds this gen we will be lucky to have 80m. 

 

You can minus 15m for next gen already because sony is finito,  plus I'll guess another 20-30m from the next Nintendo handheld.  I'll be surprised if their Next HH even breaks 50m. The grip tablets and smartphones have is unstoppable.  Japan is the only saving grace. 

So you expect This gen to be about 80mil (both HH) and Next gen to only have the next nintendo HH and that will hit between 30mil-40mil?

Even if next HH sold 30mil-40mil, arent you forgetting the Software behind it? Anywayz 30mil+ is still good for a HH and not dead at all. Especially when the Software is actually pretty good without there being that many games.

It looks bad but thats only in comparison to Nintendo HHs + PSP. Consoles survived on 20mil-40mil before :)
