Adults were not going to buy another mobile device and Sony has no IP that can attract kids, the primary market for handhelds in the west, over a Nintendo handheld. Fix all that stuff on that list and the difference would have been minimal. This article is a "head in the sand" piece over the impact smart-phones have made on the handheld market. |
Do we have data on kids being the primary users of the 3DS in America? I feel like this is possibly a misconception. Kids would actually be the first to abandon the market for more accessible, free games on their phones.
Adult gamers are the same people who "hate" mobile games are the same people most likely to splash out on an untrendy, unecessary gaming device.
