from a console stand point now. from a portable side the future is very Bleak. The 3DS is doing really well now in Japan but its first year was awful until they almost slashed the price in half! if it was hard to sell a portable this gen can you imagine how hard it will be in 5 years time? The Vita is obviously in the same boat. It would be smart for Sony and Nintendo to move heavily into the Mobile gaming Space. Mario would rival Angry Birds Easily even if Nintendo charged £2.99 a game with micro transactions there games would make more then they will on the 3DS and there is no worry of Hardware costs.

i think it would eb good for the industry and Gamers when the big dogs put there software out of mobiles, but i don't think Nintendo should go multi for Consoles it just doesn't seem right


The Nintendo 3DS at $250 has always sold more better then the PSP & DS & PS Vita & Game Boy & all Home Consoles.

The Nintendo 3DS sold more in its first 1 month then any other system, and same goes for first 6 months & 12 months & 18 months & 2 years.

 

By your logic the PS3 & 360 & PS2 & Wii & Wii U & PS4 & 720 should just move into another product to rival Angry Birds.

um.. no it hasnt.. why do you think Nintendo had to cut the price? plus sales are still flat in Na and europe for the 3DS.. check the main page if you like

Yes because Nintendo are not going by the "more power is better" philosophy and are bastardising it to something else. As the dude from Quantic Dream said, more power is better, same with Chris Roberts.

I wonder if nintendo will eventually bow out of the console market. They're are little behind the times at this point and I wonder if they can even catch up...

You could easily port Mario, Zelder, Donkey Kong, whatever to the Iphone/Android. They can do mobile as well, I just don't like them trying to muddy the console cycle with their hardware releases. If they were up to date tech, that would be one thing, but some of these recent hardware releases leave you scratching your head.

Wii mini?

The 3DS sales are up there with the PS3 & 360 in NA & Europe.

Its the PS Vita sales that are still flat in NA & Europe.

The 3DS in the first 5 months was selling at $250 and sold more then the PS3, as well as more then the 360 for the first 5 months sales of each of these systems as well as comparing the first 1 month sales and first 2 months sales and first 3 months sales and first 4 months sales compare to any one of those 2 consoles, even if you compare it to DS instead, even if you compare it to Wii instead.

The amount of rubbish that was just written then was crazy. 

il just leave it with this weeks NA and Europe sales:

3DS NA: 16,582   

PS3 NA: 32.390

3DS EU: 31,127

PS3 EU: 47.224

Also jsut add the PS3 is 7 years old and the 3DS barely 2 years old. 

The rest of that was amazing fiction to read though! im not bad mouthing nintendo at all. im just saying Sony cant shift Vitas and nintendo struggled big time to shift 3DS's this gen and even cut the price in HALF to try and sell the thing. Sony and Nin are in for a big shock if they think they can have another portable gen. unless both systems release for $89.

Nintendo can have another handheld gen, pokemon alone could carry out for it. There has been no releases of games for 3DS in Europe and NoA only had Fire Emblem Awakening, which is not a system seller. PS3 is doing great and easily pummeling even X360 cuz of exclusives (it will have lots very soon). Dont count Nintendo out yet, Just you wait!

Nintendo = Videogame industry and art

So... ¡NO!

Monopolies are bad. Competition is good, so no. But it would be more convenient and cheaper.


Competition is a word invented by the companies that don't know how to do good stuff by themselves.

The PS Vita only sold 5,000 in NA this week.

 

And you didn't compare the first 1 month sales of the PS3 to the first 1 month sales of the 3DS.

And you didn't compare the first 2 months sales of the PS3 to the first 2 months sales of the 3DS.

And you didn't compare the first 3 months sales of the PS3 to the first 3 months sales of the 3DS.

And you didn't compare the first 4 months sales of the PS3 to the first 4 months sales of the 3DS.

And you didn't compare the first 5 months sales of the PS3 to the first 5 months sales of the 3DS.
