RPG's, that's why. Which is also why if Nintendo made handheld games compatible with the home console it would do just as good.

Games in quality and quantity.



Not much competition. And because Nintendo handhelds get much more and better games than Nintendo home consoles!

Nintendo pumps out so many 1st party games on their handheld that it hurts their Wii U development, where as Sony clearly supports the ps4 MUCH MUCH more than the Vita. Sales for the 3ds are MUCH higher than the Vita and ps4 sales are higher than the Wii U's.

Sony barely provides something good for ps4.



Because that's just the normal order of things in the game industry. The stars are aligned for Nintendo to win and nobody else just like Sony winning the console war.

You call Game Gear and Atari Linx competition? o.O



Marketing >_>



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

No offense, but if for you the Game Gear is not a competition, not even PSVita is, because GameGear sold 10.5 million 11 million lifetime, Vita will be lucky if will sell 15 million... Seriusly, if you ask me, Game Gear is more succesful than PSVita, considering It was a NEW console, not the successor of a 80 million user.



The arguments about comparing the handheld market with the mobile market really don´t make sense, they´re completely different devices with different basic functions............this would only make sense if we also use the same criteria and start to compare consoles and PC market, something that people who insists in that argument never do.



Because they have the vastly superior product.
