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 


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!


I think you are not understanding what I'm saying here. It's nothing to do with nintendoz it's the market not wantin handhelds anymore. It has been hard for Nintendo to sell the 3DS so hard infact they had to cut the price in half to get sales. Can you imagine in 5 years time how much harder it will be to sell a handheld? Everyone will have a smart phone with game graphics that top vita and 3DS easy! I think Sony and Nintendo should focus more on the mobile market now getting ready for the future! They might not be able to make hardware for handheld but they might be able to dominate software

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.


I don't know why you keep trying to bring Vita up? The vita sales are horrendous at best.

unless the 3DS was $600 at launch I wouldn't say it's a great comparison. It also had 2 competitors who's sales where better. The 3DS almost has 100% market share of this portable gen and its sales are poor. Not bashing Nintendo again I'm bashing the mass market. What I'm saying again is that in 5 years the next portable genie will be impossible for Nintendo to move hardware! That's why in my opinion Sony and Nintendo should invest in mobile gaming now. 

Actually it would be interesting to see a Nintendo phone! God every kid under 15 would want one I bet. (I would probs get one even)

Games sell the systems, not the graphics.

Also: mobile phones will never have standardized buttons for control.

I get wat you mean but that wont stop Nintendo, look at pokemon for example. Lets say a handheld is only for pokemon right? There are millions that would buy it instantly! As well as Mario/Kirby/etc. Handhelds will shrink but not leave, Nintendo got it in the bag! Dont underestimate Pokemon/Monster Hunter/Mario!

But that's a lie.

The 3DS frist 1 year sales is greater then the DS & GBA & PSP & first 1 year sales, and same goes for the first 2 year sales.

Just compare any other Handheld first 2 year sales to the 3DS first 2 year sales.

The 3DS is the bestest/fastest selling Console ever. The PS2 & Wii & DS at this same point of their seperate life spam sold less then what the 3DS has archive.

And there are lots of people who are going to buy the 3DS by April 1st for Monster Hunter & Castlevania & Luigi Mansion & Pokémon Mystery Dungeon which has proven itself thru it's free demo.

It will be better if they stop releasing home consoles. Wii was fad and casuals are not coming back, at best Nintendo can hope to match GC sales with U. And since 3rd party doesnt support them it mean its not worth to waste billions on hardware.

 The Wii U is selling more better then the PS3 did at this point.

And the Wii U is selling more better then the 360 did at this point.

And the Wii U is selling more better then the PSP did at this point.

And the Wii U is selling more better then the PS Vita has.

 

It will be better if Sony stop releasing Handheld Consoles. PSP was a fad and no one is coming back, at best Sony can hope for is GameCube sales with PS Vita. And since 3rd Party doesn't support them, it means it's not worth to waste billions on Hardware.

LOL How?  They added dual analogs very quickly, and I have played that game using the directionals on an xperia play with no problems whatsoever.

They added dual analogs very quickly... after they saw what Nintendo was doing with the N64 controller.

That's precisely the point - if it weren't for Nintendo and the N64, the Playstation wouldn't have gotten dual analogs. Indeed, it's unlikely that dual analogs would have been on the PS2, either. There isn't a primary control interface in any generation since the fourth that didn't originate with Nintendo (in consoles - similar interface features in PC, or in smartphones, etc, are not the same thing). Shoulder buttons, analog sticks and rumble, motion controls, and now touch. Debatably also wireless controllers. They've also added NFC, which has yet to catch on, but is probably going to be standard in the 9th generation.

Note the word "primary", though. I'm not referring to Eyetoy/Kinect, which is a secondary peripheral control method, comparable to the Balance Board (not in terms of functionality, but in terms of it being a secondary peripheral control method). I suppose you could consider "triggers" to be an innovation, but that's very debatable.

I'd also point to handheld innovation, but Nintendo hasn't really had any serious competition in that space. The closest, the PSP, was basically a GBA on steroids. And the DS's innovation was copied with the Vita.



Just think what a next-generation zelda would look like on the Ps4.
Nintendo would be better gameing console games and stick makeing hand held hardware and games
