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. 

I don't see any excuses I made. Sony failed in the handheld market and they're most likely not going to try again. They've moved on from that market, which is why people don't bring it up often because it's irrelevant to their future at this point. Can you say the same for Nintendo? That because of the Wii U's commercial failure, they're going to stop creating home consoles. No, you can't; which is the reason why the Wii U's failure is held up higher in regards to Nintendo. And what new entrant caused the PS3 to sell less than the PS2? Last I checked Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony were all in the 6th and 7th gens. The main reason the PS3 did poorly was because Sony arrogance and they botched the launch. Also, the PS2 being the cheapest DVD player on the market also contributed a lot to its success.

Secondly, where the fuck did I say they need to replicate the successs of the DS to be viable? Nintendo just needs to sell enough consoles to make a profit while at the same time remain relevant in the mainstream market.

Also, excuse my "saltiness" while I play my Wii U and 3DS.
