The GBA had plenty of competition...from its succussor, the DS. And the DS had plenty of competition from the PSP, which outsold the GBA and will outsell the 3DS, when all the sales are in. The iPhone had also been on the market for almost 4 years before the 3DS launched, and Android for about 3 years, so DS also had some smartphone competition near the end of its life.
Of course, the biggest thing against the 3DS is time. You say 20M less isn't bad, yet the GBA truly only had 3 years by itself before it's successor was launched, so it acheived much of its numbers in a much smaller amount of time. By Oct of 2003, 2 1/2 years after it launched, the GBA had already sold 51.2M consoles. By comparison, the 3DS had shipped about 32.5M consoles 2 1/2 years after its launch. It took the 3DS a little over 4 years to get to 51M consoles shipped. Had Nintendo waited a full 4-5 years to launch the DS, the GBA would have easily shot past 100M.
Sorry, anyway you slice it, the mobile gaming market has taken a good chunk of the market away from handhelds.

Agree to disagree.

Fair enough. Good debating with you. Or discussing. Whichever you prefer.

Wow... Vita got hacked in the last 2-3 days google Henkaku if interested, only for Homebrew no piracy of Vita/psp software on it but checking out a few tools on it now, like I said just take a look if interested or you have a spare vita.
Working on latest firmware and it's just a browser hack so no work other than going to a website and knowing how to use an ftp client on your pc (client, the Vita is the server) |
Well then... This works fine... Mario World absolutely refuses to behave and Yoshis Island runs at around 70% speed
I guess it is work done in 2 days of the firmware hack being out so early days yet. Still though, Fusion works perfect and looks... awesome.

Nice. Hope they get this working full speed for everything. And I'm sure those games will look great on the Vita's screen.
