Lol huge YOY increase for 3DS and the ps4 still smokes it.  Especially WW.  just shows again how much comsoles have stayed strong while handhelds fade away.  A massive phenomenon like pokemon go and it still has no chance.  

 

You can bring up Wii + ps3 + 360 all you want but the reality is Nintendo have decline massively Wii - Wii U while Microsoft + Sony are actually doing better so far this gen combined.  The HD consoles from last gen live on.  The motion control crowd have moved on.  So in terms of dedicated console gamers the market is very healthy. 

I would like you to be a little bit lenient with Nintendo and there must be something good! 

Wiii wii wii  decline, I know wii victory acerbated many people, and now with a massive dwindling of nintendo home console with wii u,  is the time for revenge.

Personally, I admire PS4 for wiinning this gen by a landside and generally winning.

Also why do  you keep using lol when a negative sentence follows? It's like doing the flagrant/vile thing of delighting in the badthing you describe/the woes of something and you make your post somewhat aggressive/vindictive. i'm just saying it to avoid any  misunderstanding!

  When I'm  writing  a unpleasant thing, I'm doing it friendly, to eschew any possible conflint, regardless if the one who replies to me doesn't appreciate that,  hence I suggest you to do the same.

Ps4 still smokes it? Why not a moderate phrase instead of a triumphalistic one? I forgot you're too much into console wars.  Me, not! Maybe, I'm too sensitive.

What Handheld fade away? ! Say the same thing about playstation  in Japan ( who many call it dead there and you scath them )  instead of exulting every week about its sales and I will at least accept this kind of opinion.

 

Can we stop it, please? ;) Or at least answer me without provoking me because sometimes I have the bad habit of reciprocating.

 

 

 

Xbox one is about to fell below xbox 360 and the kinect time hasn't come yet... Also, if windows central isn't wrong about november npd sales when PS4 had pro release, otherwise go read Ethomaz comments about indursty  on gaf, who's a much bigger sony enthusiast than you.

Lastly, Some have the illussion that  wii was the only console with casual crowd! Ps2  had them before  according to sony, not me and of course xbox 360 thanks to kinect...

P.S

( so if  market in terms of dedicated home console gamers are very healthy, why sony  wants that http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/05/27/sony-looking-to-reach-casual-gamers-with-ps4 )

Lol the irony.  Yet again you ask me to not attack/provoke etc you and while doing so you attempt to insult me many times (for example saying I'm too much into the console wars).  

 

And again I'll say I'm not doing any of those things and I'm not bothered by your attacks on me either.  Hence why I refuse to bite.  

 

Now back to the facts.  You bring up ps4 in Japan. Well it's beating it's last gen version the ps3 and it's destroyed the competition (Wii U + xbox).  Sony gotta be happy with Japan.  They've taken it back.  

 

Meanwhile 3DS is massively down on its succesor.  Including software which ain't pretty especially WW. As I said SW is the key here.  People just ain't buying much handheld software these days.  Overall software sales for handhelds the last few years isn't pretty,  especially for third parties.  You can see why they're sticking with consoles,  pc and mobile.  

 

Next gen I fully expect software to decline again.  Straight away there is no vita succesor so you can minus that right off the bat.  Not a good start for the market.  Then we got the Switch.  With the ever growing dominance of mobile gaming I don't expect it to improve over this gens SW and the terminal decline continues imo.  

And yes all had casual crowds for various reasons but the point is the sizable hardcore market is in rude health and Microsoft,  Sony and steam have that on Lockdown.
