200 million? Where did you get that number?

All those apps? You would need the companies that make them to port it the handhelds. What would their incentive be? That "200 million" people would buy one of the handhelds? 

And no, the difference between releasing a a New 3DS and releasing an iPhone 7 is massive. With the New 3DS, you have to remind people that it's not much different from the 3DS. With the iPhone 7, you'd need to tell the world all the new and exclusive features it has, in order to differentiate it from previous models. 

240 Million people bought the DS and PSP. That was 240 million people that bought a dedicated mobile gaming device. Had Vita and 3DS had phone capabilites, they would have easily held onto most of those users.

There are 200 million people out there that want gaming centric electronic devices. That is way we have had over 200 million consoles sold every gen since PS2, and why PSP and DS sold 240 Million units. Sony and Nintendo have still never offered these 240 million people a phone. If and when they do, those 240 million people will be on board in no time. 

 

And how would you convince all these 200 - 240 million people to ditch their smartphones in favour for your hybrid idea, if you can't even convince a handful of people in this thread?

The people in this forum are much more into gaming than the average handheld buyer (mostly parents, which buy their kids a handheld for $100 - $200 to keep their kids busy/happy.
