Congrats for outselling the least successful Nintendo handheld in its fifth year, I guess.


#1 The console has been on the market less than 4 years in the US. If you're to go by years then this is the ps4s 3rd year on the market.  

 

#2 The 3ds is half the price.  Ps4 still at launch price.  

#3 Ps4 has a direct competitor in it's market.  3ds doesn't.  

 

#4 Both have indirect competitors.  Mobile and pc. 

 

#5 3ds is a handheld and last gen it was considered not even fair to compare a console to a handheld. 

 

#6 Pretty sure the ps4 is beating the 3ds sales for any of its years excluding the one where they slashed the price.  

 

#7 The 3ds got a pretty significant new model.  The ps4 didn't.  

 

#8 The 3ds had the highly acclaimed MH and MM. PS4 had the order. 

 

There are no 2 ways about this.  Ps4 is like David defeating goliath.  

i guess some people in this world dont like PS4 being  success,  unlike u and i and most of PS fans who still love with Nintendo and want Wii U to success.


I don't love them but I don't hate them.  If i was to be given a magic wand and only allowed wish things on Nintendo.  I'd wish them success in the handheld market with a long and prosperous future.

how convenient you chose the month which included the release of a new console.  Japan sales are good but sadly it's the only place with a bright future.  But even japan will fall in the end. 

Ok let's look at January+February, according to Vgchartz estimate dedicated handhelds have sold 1.8 million this year.

Or how about we do 8th gen handheld sales by year

2011-over 13 million

2012-over 17 million

2013- over 17 million

2014-over 12 million

LTD-over 60 million

Yep they are dead.......


I didn't say they are dead and you know that.  Stop twisting my words.  

 

Next gen mark my words the decline will continue.  For a start you can knock a few million vita sales a year off that and I guarantee nintendo will be down aswell.

Can't accept?  Do you think I'm running around my house naked and screaming "this isn't real, that didn't happen!!" there is an npd thread thread discussing sales for the 2 in February only.  

 

This thread is is looking at the bigger picture of 2015.

So you consider 3DS Goliath and PS4 David? Why? Isn't PS4 the one that is breaking records? How is now a simple mortal?

I listed 8 reasons above.  The ps4 like David is breaking records.

handled market share is bigger then console, and Goliath is also a mortal.

Handheld market is not bigger

SNES+Genesis outsold Gameboy+Game Gear during the 4th gen

PS1+N64 outsold Gameboy during the 5th gen

PS2+XB+GC sold more than GBA during the 6th gen

Wii+PS3+360 sold more than DS+PSP in the 7th gen

Stop making up facts

"God how things have changed. 30-40m would signal the end. Bye bye investors and software sales would be even lower. The age of the HH is over. It had a great run."

"Signal the end, bye bye investors, it had a great run."

Ya ur totally not implying that handhelds are on the verge of death
