Yeah, you are winding me up lol, I see it now.

Never mind!  I shall not rise to this bait!

 

No, I´m not. I just look at the actual situation and available data, the trends are quite obvious. I just chose not to simply ignore them. While you chose not to explain how the the notable decline in PSV hardware sales won´t affect PSVs software sales.

Really don't think you can say that remote play was very clunky considering how well it worked.

As far as PS4 comparison, I'd be shocked that a console would be able to outsell a handheld. That would be absolutely disasterious for Switch if it wasn't able to push past PS4.

PS4 is outselling PSV quite handily in 2016 hardware sales In Japan. PS4 looks like to be heading towards selling 2 times the ytd amount of PSV by the end of this year. Currently sales are at PSV 650k against 1.100k for PS4 this year. There´s nothing too shocking about it anymore since it´s happening in front of our eyes. About Switch, there just aren´t many informations about it besides, its concept, so it´s really hard to make strong predictions, besides the obvious thing that it will become the best selling system in 2017 in Japan, despite an atleast 2-3 months headstart nex year for its currently known competitors.

It looks to me that Nintendo is gearing up to (TRY) and revitalize the handheld market with the Switch. Is Sony looking at this and ignoring the fact that if Nintendo is successful and the handheld market sees a spike, they might lose out on a possible Vita refresh ?
