There's no viability for 2 handheld consoles IMO. Smart phone gaming is the main mobile market. Handheld console is now niche. I don't see a niche market being able to sustain two products. I hope the TV base unit isn't a mere docking station and that it actually has processing capability to boost the resolution. Should be like the PSVR, which actually does some work and doesn't just receive the image and put it in front of your eye. |
Well we would need to know how profitable the vita is being for Sony. In an abstract way, I do agree that mobile has eaten into the handheld market, but that doesn't mean the market is not there still.
I think Nintendo is on to something with this, not as a competitor for the regular home consoles as it won't replace any of them. But a more beefed up type of handheld (with perhaps some phone abilities), I think that could definitely find a big market. The main problem will be a form factor of how to get the typical controller imbued into what can pass as a 'normal' phone/phablet.
So yeah, best of luck for Nintendo with this handheld, hope it pans out for them :)
