Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobileCoopersville said:From a consumer standpoint, do you think home consoles and handheld consoles share the same market? If the Nintendo DS outsells the PS2, will it be known as the best selling gaming console of all time?
DS: 100 million
PS2: 136 million
Sony won't agree with that, but I do. To me, portable consoles and home consoles are part of the same market; they're all video games. Like Bugs said, time spent with a portable is time taken away from a home console.
Foolz said:I think considering how badly Chinatown wars has sold says that people are more willing to buy different types of games for handhelds than consoles, so depending on how you look at it, no.
That reminds me Chinatown did not appear in the top 20 for May did it?
To your core question, I'm of two minds on whether or not they are in the same sphere. I've re-written this post three times already.
I love handhelds and in many ways, I love them more than console or PC games. But I can't put them in the same room with consoles. I think they should be separate.
But then there's that argument that the PSP is basically a portable PS2. But I still see it as a handheld.
