It makes senses to call it that. All handhelds are legacy systems at this point.


Shipping over 6-7mil+  year? No 3DS isnt in the same boat

So is sony going 3rd party? :P

Yet oddly for my tastes the Vita has had more recent exciting game announcements than all the other combined.

I get what you're saying, but 3DS has done great and certainly made a lot of money for Nintendo.

If Vita was doing half as well as 3DS, Sony would probably give it decent support.

Vita 2 announcement at e3 confirmed?

Man, it really sucks because Vita is more capable than 3DS. I would love to see more notable games come out for it. It's selling better in Japan because more games are released in Japan. They get all the RPGs, the everything. Same thing is happening on 3DS in the US. Iwata is complaining about how slow sales are in the US compared to Japan...well there's simply more games out in Japan vs. US and like you said Iwata..."software sells hardware". Enough of the 3DS ranting though, I think Vita will pick up where 3DS left off in terms of releasing great titles to the masses until the next gen handhelds are announced(if there will be a sony one)

GBA would've sold over 100 million units if it had been given a proper 5 year cycle.

3DS is only at 54 million or so after almost 4+ full years on the market.
