It's already huge.

Have you not seen iPhone and Android sales? Have you not seen developers acknowledging that growth and shifting resources to those devices?

No, I've seen developers who never really bothered with handhelds jump on the mobile bandwagon. Until you start seeing major handheld franchises jump to mobile (so if Monster Hunter or something like that were to go completely iOS/Android exclusive), you can't say there's been a shift. In some instances there are additional iOS/Android games in handheld franchises, like with Layton, but a complete shift of focus? Nah.

(I think this prediction is crazy.)

3DS+Vita=LOVE



The 2DS is going to sell numbers this holiday season. The 3DS has already sold enough hardware to call it successful. Pokemon X & Y is going to skyrocket the 2DS and 3DS, and I see both dominating the boards come Black Friday through Christmas.



No chance of hitting 200 million.

About 100 million.

No way will Vita be able to match that, hence me predicting less than 200 million.

I didn't say there was a complete shift from dedicated handhelds to smart devices. I just said that companies aknowledge the quick growth in the mobile space and are shifting resources towards it.

Just look at companies like Square-Enix, EA, Activision and Capcom for example. They are all creating lots and lots of games for smart devices and it only continues to expand each year.

 

To me 3DS, Vita, iOS, Android = Handheld gaming.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Sure 3DS will sell very well overall and have solid software numbers.

However, the revenue/qty/net profit of gaming on iOS and Android will individually spank the shit out the others combined. Its simply a more attractive userbase for devs.
