So the Vita is close to over taking the handheld market in Japan! (Weekly peeps! Weekly!) So was I right?

The whole dedicated video game market has shrunk sizably.

Why people just post this BS without any solid argument? Unless PS4 and X1 start selling less than their predecessor with aligned launches, you are just taking "evidences" out of thin air. "Oh, PS4 is crushing PS3 numbers, but I think that it will take a nose dive in 3 years without any solid evidence and end up with 80M".

Despite that, X1 ending up behinf their predecessor doesn't mean that the industry is shrinking. It just means that MS's share is shrinking. We can also assume that PS2 gen was a flop because both the Dreamcast and the GC sold less than their predecessor, while Xbox couldn't do it because it was the first of the line (but also, we now know it is the lowest XB in sales.

it is already due to Japan on home consoles aren't that relevant that much. even handheld is losing its market share to smartphones. hence it is shrinking.
