Erm, you made this thread because you thought it was amazing that the PS4 outsold the 3DS so far this year after a revision for the 3DS was released. I just showed you a poll where the majority of the people thought the PS4 would win even in February.

I am talking about 2015, but we can only talk about the first two months right now.


It's amazing because last gen ps3 was dominated by the DS. Playstation was David and now it's risen as the ps4 and slain goliath.  This years start has beaten every 3ds start to a year ever.  

 

It's an amazing turn around and feat.  Especially when the handheld had a new SKU release. 

What does the PS3 and DS have to do with this? You're moving goalposts.

It was obvious from the start the PS4 wasn't going to be a PS3. For starters, it was $200 (!) cheaper at launch and second off all, it's much easier to develop for.

Nintendo meanwhile has to compete with the smartphone market which makes the gaming market look like a fucking joke. It was also Nintendo's most expensive handheld ever at launch. It was obvious from the start the 3DS wasn't going to repeat the success of the DS.
