I know a lot of people think Sony will not release another handheld, but I honestly think they will. They're "dumb enough" to do it again (and I don't mean dumb in a mean way). The Vita is a EXCELLENT hardware device, but the PS4 completely stole the thunder away from it. I believe it'll be awhile before we see another handheld, but this time they'll release it at a better time.

Everything so far like what? Based on rumours, their next "handheld" will just play NX games. Instead of making exclusive games to that handheld, it'll get the same games as the NX. And that is something that I've always said will happen as Nitendo cannot support 2 systems at a time, especially when one is HD.

Wow you are trying so hard here. The handheld will play NX games? What? Are you actually trying to pitch Ninty will just port home console games to a handheld? It is obviously the other way around lol but keep trying. If NX isn't both(portable and home) then its a handheld and a home console will receive ports from it.


So, you're same that Nintendo will just port handheld games to their home console? Sounds about right. Point remains that they can't support 2 systems with different games.

Ofcourse Ninty can't, who can?

Imo only an Xperia Play 2 would make sense. Just release exclusives for that handset and call it a day.



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

I guess, but in your opinion what could they even do to make it a worthwile device?  Nintendo has the cheap handheld market cornered, and a more expensive one is useless against smartphones.

Handhelds are done. Even Nintendo who survived for generations on handhelds will not be making handheld exclusives anymore.

Yet everything so far at Ninty looks to be the exact opposite. It won't be long until new 3D Zelda games, Splatoon, and Mario Maker join their handheld side.

+1.  Nintendo needs to support 1 console catalog.
