I never said I was a very good sales fan.  I just always in my head assumed psp to be the ps2 gen because back then my friends were playing psp while I played the PSP.  

 

I've never taken part in any discussions on that topic so this is the first time I'm seeing people say otherwise. 

 

So what exactly are you trying to achieve here with this reply?  

It's meant to highlight why people think you're trolling. Every time you're misinformed about something, it's in a way that makes it easier for you to make a pro-Sony and anti-Nintendo narrative. If Vita goes with PS3, then Sony's performance this generation looks a lot more impressive: It means 7th gen was a huge decline in both handheld and home console sales, but at least PS4 is improving from the previous home console. Of course, Vita is 8th generation, so the real story of this gen is Sony losing a huge amount of handheld customers, a deficit that cannot be compensated for even with more home console sales.

Then there are the double standards. You've been very open about putting together 3DS and Wii U sales, so you clearly think that those two consoles are in the same generation. But then you turn around and claim that Vita doesn't go with PS4. This is in spite of the fact that 3DS released BEFORE Vita.

So, why would 3DS be 8th gen, and Vita be 7th gen in your eyes?

Answer: Because if you compare 3DS + Wii U versus Switch, it's a harder comparison for Nintendo than Wii U versus Switch or 3DS versus Switch. Therefore, you pick the comparison that makes Nintendo look worse.

On the other hand, if you only compare PS3 to PS4, it's an easier comparison for Sony than PSP+PS3 versus PSV+PS4. Therefore, you pick the comparison that makes Sony look better.

Look you can call me an idiot for my views on what gen the PSP is,  I really don't care.  

 

But what you're missing here is why do I not compare ps4 to Sony's previous home console + handheld?  It's quite simple.  Ps4 is not a hybrid so it gets compared to what it's succeeding and that's the ps3 only.  

 

Do you understand?
