Based on 6th gen comparision, I surmise that what mobile has done to the market is to vanish the irregular and steep growth of 7th gen and maybe stolen some of the core audience ( at least In the USA ) , not killing it... Should I have predicted that Ps4 would sell 50-70m because ps3 was down compared to ps2 by 90%?
Also, after pokemon go effect, can we be more optimistic about nintendo handheld console market ( I'm specifying it, because essentially Nintendo is the handheld console market... ), please? |
You can be, but it's hard to argue that the market hasn't contracted.
This worries me greatly:

Now, align that with this:
Finally, factor in this:

The GB v. GBA comparison doesn't really hold up, due to widely varying lifecycles: 20 years vs. 5 years. The GBA, DS, and 3DS have all had similar lifespans so far, but the DS appears to have ridden the boom years up. Let's not forget that, gen-on-gen, the PSV essentially went the way of the samurai.
