Lol the taunts aren't going to work.  I ain't gonna bite. 

 

I find it ironic you laughed at me saying how Nintendo fans feel and then go onto claim you know how Nintendo fans feel.  

 

I tell you right now,  nobody is happy both the Wii U and 3DS have seen massive drops.  3DS will drop over 70m.  Wii U about 83m. 

 

Meanwhile ps4 will be nicely up on ps3. Probably 30m. Vita will probably end about 68m down on psp.  

 

Sony will see a net drop of around 30m. Nintendo will see a net drop of around 150m. I know which ship I'd rather be on.  And I'm very happy to be on it. 

Thats a bad way of looking at HW sales. Ps4 is doing well, it could sell less than ps3 and still be miles ahead of what the company wants.

 

Your looking at it at units only. No offense but 3ds did do well especially in its home country where when you look at the entire market as a whole.

 

Ps3 sold 90mil units right? So i guess sony must be more proud of that than psv measly 15mil or nintendo measly wiiu 15mil? Wrong as it lost them more money combined than wiiu/vita/GCN

 

You keep looking only at HW sales for wii/ds drops. Which is fine but it doesnt spell out the entire formula.

 

That said wiiu was a failure overall, in both units and profits (💰) but 3ds did alright for itself. Especially when every1 was claiming Handheld gaming died and its number 1 competitir couldnt even hold on (unfortunately)

PS3 around 86m. Wii U under 13m. Vita will probably end up over 15m. 

 

Stop moving the goalposts.  We're not talking profits and how good for the company it is.  If we were I'd mention the ps4 is the ultimate gold mine with its combination of massive HW sales,  huge SW sales and ps plus. But we ain't discussing that. 

 

The market for dedicated handhelds is dying.  HW are miles down yes but so is software.  Lol ps4 has breezed passed 3DS software sales This gen with WAAAAAY less time. 

 

Next gen the decline continues.  Straight off the bat you can minus 15m vita sales and all the software it sold.  Then you can expect the Switch to sell less then the 3DS.  

 

The market is dying.  You can think Android and iOS. Meanwhile the HD consoles from last gen have transition beautiful to this gen.  The future is bright for home consoles.
