Forums - Gaming - Toastboy Theory: Tablets Didn't Hurt Anything

Myth 1: Tablets are killing handheld gaming

My theory: 3DS is selling neary as well as the GBA  so handheld gaming isn't dying. PSVita isn't selling because it was a bad idea to have console ports on handheld. DS only sold huge numbers because most people owned at least two of them. Tablets only expanded the market.

 

Myth 2: Tablets will kill console gaming.

My theory: Tablets actually help console gaming. More developers are being created that can bring their games to consoles in the long run. Tablets and consoles can co-exist together because theyre not competing. If this gen of consoles doesn't sell as well as 7th gen it's Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft's fault for not appealing to more people

What chu think homies?

I kind of agree but I do think that in the long term tablets will replace handhelds in greater numbers doing damage to both handheld market and consoles. Basically a case of where developers see their revenue coming from. Hopefully most aren't myopic enough to realise that mobile/tablet only offer short term successes.



Agree with all what you said except the reason why vita is not selling



PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

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

That's not however it works.



Bet with Xander XT: 

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

But hey! That's just a theory! A toastboy theory! Thanks for reading!
