If we are going to include all the games on smartphones when comparing them to Nintendo handheld platforms, we should compare every game on PC to individual consoles, including very popular ones that aren't on steam, like World of Warcraft, Farmville, and others. We will find that consoles lost to PC and are dieing, by the same logic. |
LOL not really my friend, not really at all. Over time the console:PC ratio has remained fairly constant, at least in comparison to the Phone:Handheld ratio.
For Consoles to be "Losing" their marketsize and profit would have to be going down over time - and its not. On the other hand the handheld market has been shrinking drastically for a long time.
Prediction for console Lifetime sales:
Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million
[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]
3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m
I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.
