Or to put it another way, 3DS has declined over 60% compared to DS, which while it is less than the >80% decline of POSV compared to PSP it is still a huge decline. And Sony can't be responsible for the generational decline of 3DS. Certainly Sony is responsible for a lot of the reason PSV has done poorly, but the rise of phone/tablet gaming is part of it too, because we see a huge overall decline in the handheld game console market which is not solely attributable to Sony/PSV. |
Actually, the 3DS is tracking 47% behind the DS after 55 months on the market (54,131,288 vs 102,096,626). Compare this with the Vita which is 70% behind the PSP after 45 months (12,404,093 vs 40,981,343). Beyond that you are clearly correct in asserting that both Sony's poor decision making and the rise of mobile gaming have been major factors in the Vita's failure.
