Nah, or just using double standards now, selling 1/3 the previous generation is "doomed" while selling 2/3 the previous generation is nothing to be worried about.

6th generation, handhelds-80 million, consoles-200 million

7th generation, handhelds-235 million, consoles-280 million

8th generation, handhelds-80 million, consoles-180-200 million

The handheld & console markets have both reverted back to roughly 6th gen levels yet one is dead and the other is fine.

Do I really need to explain the difference between a 1/3 drop and as 2/3 drop?

PS4's continuing strong sales show there is still great demand for consoles moving forwards. But no dedicated portable is still selling strongly. 3DS weekly sales are poor, and Vita's worse.

I understand the difference but u need to explain why one is dead while the other is fine and dandy.

3DS in its first 3 full years did about 13-14 million, so far we have seen PS4 sell about 14-16 million in its first 2 full years.
