Is NX even necessary?

And the 360 will have a longer life than One due to Kinect boost. They all have a reason to be worried lol, Sony had to pull the plug on handhelds lol. How is that not a decline? Micro will certainly sell less home consoles this gen, why do we not even know how much the One has even shipped? Yet they had no problem letting us know during the 360 heyday lol. They all have something to worry about because there is no excuse for the PS4 and XB1 to not be signicantly shitting on PS2/xbox. That means there is a lack of growth in a market which isnt very big to begin with. This gen could even sell less hardware from just 7th gen ps/xbox to 8th gen ps/xbox. So far everything points to PS2/Xbox > PS3/360, that trend could continue with no reason at all besides a stagnant or declining market. Why do you think Ninty is so obsessed with expanding the market? If the market wasnt so niche, big players like Apple and Samsung wouldnt laugh at the idea of making a dedicated home console.

Notice how I said home consoles, everyone knows that Sony experienced a huge decline in handheld sales. Sony themselves know the Vita was a commercial failure, hence their abysmal support for it. It's probably why they'll never create another handheld again and put their focus on what they are good at: home consoles.  As for why Microsoft doesn't give out shipment numbers for the XBO, it's because of public perception. It looks much better to say that the XBO is selling better than the X360, which many considered to be the superior console last generation, than to show the PS4 beating the XBO by almost 2:1 worldwide. Both are true, but only of one those looks like a positive.

I dont care what you said lol, you left out handhelds for no reason besides saltyness. The excuses you presented for Sony work the other way around for Ninty and home consoles. So please just stop. Sony sold less hardware from PS2 to PS3 due to a new entrant so Ninty gets the same pass this gen. Sony turned things around without ever getting back to Ps2 figures therefore Ninty doesnt need to replicate Ds.
