That's good for handhelds but it only makes up only 17% of the total market (around there) according to statistics on gaming as a whole so it doesn't counter what I said earlier. More importantly, what about the other market they are in? I didn't say anything about niche in that context.

Mate what you posted here makes no sense in any context what's so ever, firstly what stats are you even on about and secondly if their IPs outside of Pokemon are selling 5-10m and the portables are selling 70m consistently then they're not niche. Are you seriously trying to argue that the aren't a lot of portable gamers now?

You really try to comprehend what someone is writing before you reply. Read more slowly this time.

I did not say that nintendo's IPs were niche. Ever. Got it? Good. So stop trying to get me to defend a position I never held. Stop getting triggered off of the mentioning of "niche". i used the word to the describe the portion of the gaming market that nintendo focuses on and not the IPs. Also, saying pokemon has more reach than nintendo's staple of IPs outside of gaming does not mean that nintendo's IPs are niche. it's saying that pokemon is more popular than nintendo's other popular IP's. 

There are not alot of gamers playing handheld (as in dedicated handheld gaming consoles) consoles in the gaming market as a whole compared to the other options. 

"Devices the most frequent gamers are playing on:

PC: 56%, dedicated game console: 53%, smartphone: 36%, wireless device: 31%, dedicated handheld system: 17%"
