The convenience on Handheld gaming on a mobile phone or tablet is undoubtedly more accessible than carrying your 3DS around with you. So, it is no surprise that Apple and Android iOS’s are surpassing Nintendo’s handheld sales figures. With the advances in mobile devices, the games are much more advanced than Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja, both of which are great games. However, will they truly overcome the appeal of a dedicated handheld console?
What are your thoughts on Android surpassing 3DS in sales figures (think games not units sold) and should they even be compared?
Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.
I don't think we need to compare both just because the 3DS is mainly a gaming handheld and Android is more than just gaming.
I hate to play on my Android phone, mainly because the lack of buttons, and also because 99% of games on it are horrible, in my opnion.
On the other hand, I love to play on my 3ds. But usually I don't carry it around because is way too big. I can't believe they haven't released a 3ds Lite yet. It could keeep the same screen size as the regular 3ds, but the device could be half the size. I would surely buy such device on day one.
