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.

Will Ninty next home console be nothing but another iteration of the handheld? So no you cant say Ninty hasnt given up on the home console business, I love the excuse though keep them coming. Wiius failure is held up higher because people are desperate to shit on anything Ninty related. Thats why I mentioned ps3s failure and ps4 not going anywhere near ps2, because all of that was overlooked while nintys handheld business does the same and gets shitted on for it. You cant even prove Vita really is it for Sony, yet you had no problem pushing it. Because yet again you want to just sweep Sonys issues under the rug. All i see from Ninty these days is take as many franchises that were once home console exclusive over to 3DS as quickly as possible. Sony supports Vita the best way they can, 3rd party support. Its still selling enough to beat Wiiu, some would even argue Vita as better support. So tell me why are you so quick to believe sony is leaving but Ninty isnt? I know, because the agenda of Wiiu being held up higher needs to be supported.
