Forums - Gaming - So... shall we crown 3DS king of the 8th handheld gen ?

Sales wise, sure.

However only a fool determines the best console off sales alone. PS2 "won" the 6th gen yet many people in this thread probably enjoyed the GameCube just as much or even preferred it. I sure did. The point being, you should be basing this discussion off the great 3DS games, not its average sales.

If you base it off games, the 3DS still wins. Persona can't win this fight alone, as great as it is.

 



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Since when was Persona on this?

I present the true king.

Dunno the PS4 and xbox720 could catch up to it



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

In terms of sales, sure. In terms of revenue for most developers -> No.

It's 99% shovelware that nobody buys, and nobody pay attention to.  Even if a game gets a few sales or microtransaction, there's no following, nobody reading about the game on IGN or looking for the next release.  Phones are a dead end for game development.  Angry birds is one of the few success stories, and the only real mega-successful game to arise from the smartphone market.  Many free browser flash games are much better than the games you have to pay for - one way or another - on phones.
