And youre happy about that, so a monopoly is good as long as its by nintendo?

Sony is done with the handheld market because they are smart and know that handhelds are dying, the writing is on the wall. Out surviving someone other from the pest isnt healing you.

Consoles are dying too then. ;)

Sony is done with the HH market because the Vita was an epic fail. Do you really think they would give up on the HH market if the Vita sold 50M+ units of HW?

Don't worry about mobile gaming, Nintendo will soon dominate that too.

Most third party developers ignore HH, so it doesn't matter if Nintendo has a monopoly in the HH market. People only buy a HH for Nintendo games and the occasional third party game (Monster Hunter, Yo-kai Watch, Dragon Quest, etc.).


Consoles arent dying, because it still makes sense to buy a smaller device to play games which costs barley more than a graphicscards every 5 years, and its in your home and not on the go.

Everyone has now a smartphone which is a phone and also a gaming device, they are even now more powerfull than both the vita and 3DS. And with physical handheld games you cant carry your entire library around all the time, this making it unconfortable to own physical media for handhelds. So the physical media argument doesnt work too on handhelds unlike with consoles. You see now why portable dedicated gaming devices are dying?

And Nintendo releasing exclusive games for their handhelds who arent avaible on the wiiu shows whats wrong with handhelds, they need to release these games in order for people to buy and play on these devices. Even without any exclusives, consoles could still survive.
