Who is Rol?

Hope i didn't commit a crime....

You're denying Rol in public? That's a whole separate charge. This probably isn't going to turn out well for you.

I'll try to talk you out of this. Since you've just created your account this month, they might let you slide.

Don't tell me i will get banned. Because i got banned two weeks ago. For calling someone a Nintendo fanboy (no it wasn't Rol). It was my first post.......

It's fine. I got banned (and threatened of a permaban) because I called someone "kid". In this site, don't call anyone anything except their name and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind.

LOOOOL I got banned for that soooooo many times. I didn't know it was a crime, but I've realized it now and I don't do it anymore. Turns out that is actually a very serious offense

What does the 3DS unit sales versus playstation and number of 1m sellers have to do with the mobile market?

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2015-06-15-mobile-pushes-japanese-games-industry-to-record-usd9-6b-value

Japan total gaming revenue in 2014 9.6B. Mobile gaming revenue 5.8B, PC gaming revunue .6M, All console hardware and software 3.2B

Nintendo IR 2014: Total sales japan (hardware and software) 1.14B (24.6 % of their overall revenue)

So just from those data points alone we know that the mobile sales were 5x more than of anything Nintendo put out in Japan in 2014.  3DS sales fell in 2015.  So yes I'm claiming that mobile is killing everything in Japan because it is, and simple fact checking would led you to the same conclusion.

Are you seriously trying to say that it is unusual for a dedicated gaming device to see a decline in its fifth year on the market?

3DS vs. PS matters because if you are talking about mobile killing everything, how come that a system that is supposedly part of a dying market can pull off similar numbers to the successful systems of the past?

Well at least we can agree that my comment about mobile crushing everything was not far from reality... it is the reality.  We are going to have to agree to disagree then with everything else.  My reference to the 3ds falling had nothing to do with length of time the device was available but to the gap between mobile and traditional gaming consoles for 2015, im willing to bet its going to increase once we get 2015 numbers.

As for your second sentence, you been here long enough to know that different criteria/situations affect sales and that the direct comparsion is far from fair but whatever.

Someone who called me "a kid who doesn't know what he is talking about" is permabanned now.

The point of contention was that the 3DS is not shaping up to sell as many units as the DS (worldwide, lifetime). This was at the time when the 3DS was tracking ahead of the DS in the same timeframe.

How could anyone call you a kid? Your account might be even older than the site itself...

This doesn't prove anything :p

An even bigger reason not to question his maturity. As shown by how much patience he has towards many newcomers which might or might not be evidenced in this thread.

We aren't agreeing. That's pretty obvious when you have to change the word that describes the situation. Initially you said "killing" which means that the market for dedicated gaming systems will inevitably be dead. Now you say "crushing" which merely means to do better by a big margin. You were wrong and you conceded by changing your argument.

well in my book, for this instance, "killing" and "crushing" are interchangable.

Then you probably also don't see a difference between "declining" and "dying".

I don't, both describe the Japanese dedicated market and Peyton Manning career right now.
