Does it matter? Havent you noticed? Pure gaming devices, consoles of the past - NES, SNES, N64, Game Cube - are a thing of the long gone past. Yes, you re right. People dont buy smartphones in the sense of a device mainly for gaming. But, a big round but, people using them as main mobile gaming device. That teenage boy sitting next to me in the metro the other day did when he was playing a soccer (european football) game on his Iphone. I think it was an iPhone. It had a tiny screen in comparison. My eyes did go all teary by looking at the tiny players on the field, obscured by the boys fingers. How can someone play like this, i thought to myself, while squinting my eyes, trying to figure out the how and why. Those consoles i mentioned have another thing in common. Except them being pure gaming devices. They dont play music CDs and no DvDs. They re also Nintendo consoles. Not hard to miss, is it? Lets take look at their sales (aprox.)

My point is, you are extrapolating a conclusion by looking at incomplete data. |
Im honestly not sure what you're getting at here or how im looking at incomplete data or why you are listing Nintendo consoles? Really your whole post just doesnt make any sense.
Bringing up mobile in a discussion about consoles would be like if you made a thread about movie theater attendance dropping and i used Netflix/Hulu subscription numbers to prove you wrong. It wouldnt make any sense.
