Portable gaming, deffinatly. Other sectors? Where? The PS4 Xone are doing far better than their previous itteration by this point. If they loose any players that is down mostly to PC gaming. Mobile gaming is the perfect casual crap-trap ( I know, I know a very small percentage is actually quality) but I doubt its hurting the core gaming segment in any significant way. Hell we could argue that its the other way around ie. helping people realise that gaming can be awesome.

Are you sure about that?

 

As far as I know they are both tracking ahead of their previous itterations. Or did the Xone fall behind the 360? If thats so, IMO even that could be explained by the far more potent sales of the PS4. There is an obvious consumption barrier for core consoles, and the 2 will obviously canibalize eachother.
