I don't really understand this quote "Yup. It baffles me when people try to say 3DS is doing well. " combined with the chart when you compare 1 handheld (3DS, 2 if we add in Vita but the chart goes to 2019 so likely only a Nintendo handheld by then) to mobile.

It's basically like comparing a revenue chart of "BMW" in 1 bar and "Every other can manufacturer in the world" Comparing one device by one company to everything else in the world is likely to show revenue charts like that.

This is how handheld vs. mobile works. Nintendo vs. rest of world.

 

And yes, handheld gaming is passing away basically. No one should expect Nintendos next handheld to do better than 3DS.

Not that you need to like it. I don't.

 

Edit: Keep in mind, last gen was the best handheld gaming ever had with over 150 million DS and over 80 million PSP. This gen hasn't even reached a third of those sales. It's still behind the shortlived GBA.

No one should had its own opinion...Eh?

If 3ds successor sells better what will you say? If it sells less instead, I won't say anything, since my opinion  isn't combined with dogmatism, I aknowledged that it could sell less ! How much less could it sell by your opinion?

Who cares for last gen? What about home consoles? Their aggregate sales were 275m? How much for 8th gen? 165m? 110 less and 10m more than what PS2 sold alone? Oh dead, dead, dead!

All comparisons are welcomed but it doesn't mean that all of them are fair and indicative!

As for the gba and its lifetime... Keep in mind that ds lite was released in the end of 2006, if you know what I mean...
