Why such a good week for Vita?

This was the worst week so far this year.  It might appear better than in previous weeks because the other systems around it (XBO/WiiU/360) were pretty heavily overtracked in the US in January.

The 360 is dying pretty quickly, and the PS3 will also die relatively fast, it certainly won't pass the Wii (well anyone with common sense already knew that).

Won't comment on either the Xbox One or PS4 because both are still very early in their lives. Anyone who says the Xbox One is doomed and/or the PS4 will dominate might have to eat crow later, things can change dramatically in a very short time, like for example, the amazing Xbox One sales it had only 2 months ago, and now it's selling only 18k more than the Wii U and Vita, I don't think anyone BUT JoetheBro expected that kind of drop.

Well I was not expecting Xb one to tank quite so badly in the USA. But it was clear from the beginning that Xb one is going to have a very hard time everywhere else. Opening in the UK far below PS4 was a first round knockout for Europe. I didn't expect it pre-launch, but once PS4 and Xb one had launched it was clear Xb one is lost in Europe.

Xb one can come back in the USA but it won't be the sort of reversal of fortune that will make Xb one competitive in a global sense.

Those people will get older and won't play games anymore. However the newer generations definitely will play, and prefer, Angry Birds over Call of Duty and other AAA games. Don't feel like writing it down all over again, so here is how I imagine gaming in 10 years or so

I believe smartphones games and consoles games will cohabitate console will not be dead somes kids will prefer to buy smartphones games some will prefer to buy consoles games.

I personally don't think so because on smartphones games, kids won't even have to pay a penny for them, or if they do, is very cheap. Parents will gladly take that option over consoles, and the kids themselves as well, remember when you were a kid and you spent months saving money to buy a single game? Kids today won't have that problem.

Those kids will grow up with the mentality that you won't need to pay to enjoy video games, making consoles obsolete.

Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

I don't agree that people who buy a last gen console and didn't buy a next gen console goes to smartphone,smartphone introduce a new model create very simple games   with a really low price the creation of this model create a new genre of gamers ,those gamers had never get a console and will never get one they will never accept to pay 40 dollars and console gamers will never stop buying console game and play only smartphone games.

Seriously do you thing people will stop playing call of duty game or god of war and strat playing Angry bird.

Not dead, no, but expectations need to be moderated. Because there are other options for kids, and some kids who would have bought a console in past decades will buy tablet or smartphone instead it means consoles will shrink this generation and only grow modestly in future generations (if there are any more consoles of the type we have now. I think in soe ways the traditional game console is doomed, if not 9th gen then 10th gen. And we will be gaming through something that doesn't resemble the consoles of the '90s, '00s, and '10s .

everything else dropping does not make it do good though. And beside its not like wiiu+vita could sink as much as others did due to not having many sales to begin with :0
