And the home consoles have declined without any reason at all. They have all the support in the world while handhelds just have Ninty. I guess thats why the 3DS got the latest Metroid Prime game lol. Ninty knows its up to them to keep handhelds going, so even if it means sinking their home console division...their up for it. If Federation Force sells more than Metroid Prime 3, its gonna be a sad day for Ninty home console fans.

The console market has not shrunk anywhere near as severely as the portable market. The former has dipped, the latter has nosedived.

With all the support in the world, I see no reason for it. And 3ds will sell just as much as WiiU and Xb1 combined, sounds like something Ninty would want to continue. Quick question how much do you think a home console from Ninty with equal 3rd party support to Sony would sell?

No idea.

And the steep downward trend in handheld sales suggests a 3DS successor would continue the decline and sell much worse than 3DS.

Again, the console decline is nowhere near as severe as the portable decline.

The XBO is still selling better than the X360.
