Completely dominated seems inaccurate to say the least with the PSP selling over 80 million which is close to ps3 and 360 numbers. Also with well over a billion smart phones sold a year with a very high percentage of users playing games on them, most portable gaming is on android or ios. I guess Nintendo platforms are a premium niche in portable gaming. You see some android games with 100s of millions of installs on the google playstore. Angry birds etc and you get the same game as both full or free listed on google playstore and sometimes updated different versions plus you have other apk stores like amazon and piracy where people download the full versions of apk without paying. God knows how many people have actually played angry birds in total for example. I would of thought only android could make any serious claim to dominate portable gaming although that would be casual gaming mostly. However a part of those android installs would be set top boxes and maybe android tv's but surely in the minority compared to phones and tablets. Just looking at super mario run on the playstore its between 100 million and 1/2 billion installs. 1/2 billion installs is not something Zelda BOTW will be getting anytime soon and just one of 100s of games in that catagory. Can't even dismiss android as casual only nowadays there are many android games with very impressive graphics engines close or exceeding ps3/360 level.

No it's pretty accurate. psp sold 80 million, but DS sold nearly double the amount, then 3ds vs vita well we know the out come of that.

Yes we know, 3DS will end up around 2 time lower than DS numbers, while Vita around 5x lower than PSP, 3DS will end up around 75-80 m which is still quite good number and success.
