Japan is just one country, the fact it's selling more than a whole continent or the rest of the world says a lot.

Dedicated portables will continue to dwindle in sales next generation, count on it. Sony know what's up, they see there's no long term future in it. There won't be another Sony portable, and the next Nintendo portable will continue the 3DS's decline.

Now ur changing your argument because the facts don't back you up.

You: handhelds are doing bad everywhere but Japan

Me: lifetime sales are similar in each region

You: I'm not talking about lifetime, im talking about current

Me: all 3 regions have done a similar amount in the current fiscal year

You: ya but Japan is smaller

Nintendo divides their sales into 3 regions and all 3 regions share very numbers. Do you think Nintendo cares what the population of a region is or do they just care about how many units they sell?

Sony doesnt "know what's up" if they did than Vita would have never released in the first place, if Vita was selling well than you can bet ur ass that they would release a successor. Nintendo will continue to make handhelds because their current handheld has sold 60 million and growing with 300 million units of software.

My argument has never changed. Selling 2 million in one country is decent. Selling a similar amount, less actually, across the entirety of Europe, mainland Asia, and Oceania, in other words over dozens of countries, is not.

In the current weekly chart, 3DS sold just 6k more than the Wii U in North America. And if you want to talk lifetime, 3DS will not only be Nintendo's worst selling handheld besides the Virtual Boy, but it will also sell less than the loser of last gen's portable race, PSP.

And next gen will be even worse, just watch.
