It seems like you are the one who doesn't understand. I didn't say PS4 should be compared with both PSP and PS3. I said that PS4 AND Vita should be compared with PSP and PS3, because those numbers represent the entire PlayStation userbase for gens 7 and 8, just like Wii U and 3DS represent the Nintendo userbase for gen 8 and Switch will represent the entire Nintendo userbase for gen 9. According to your own logic, comparing Switch to Wii U + 3DS is exactly the same as comparing PSV + PS4 to PSP + PS3. If you can compare one hybrid to a home console and a handheld combined, then obviously you can compare a home console and a handheld combined to another home console and another handheld combined. You're saying PS4 shouldn't be compared to the previous home console + handheld. But you know what? Sony did release a handheld this generation. You're always celebraring PS4 being ahead of PS3 as some huge accomplishment and using it as evidence for Sony doing very well, even though their total userbase has shrunk considerably. So your comparisons allow PlayStation as a whole to decline by a huge amount, while Nintendo can't decline at all. You're saying that PlayStation will still be more impressive to you just because PS4 is doing better than PS3, never mind that PlayStation's handheld sales have declined by 14 million. |
Never bought a handheld from Sony and have bought every console. Too me their home console base is all I care about.
And on your other point. Yes psv + ps4 can be compared to ps3 + psp if you want. That's a fair comparison. Feel free to do it. You're perfectly entitled to if it interests you.
The same way I'm entitled to have an interest in ps3 vs PS4 and Switch vs Wii + 3DS.
