summer is over and it shows, board is slow as shit.
People don't actually like to play videogames outside, they just want mindless commute time-burners like Candy Crush or Clash something

3DS is 11 years old, my dude. A successor will be coming soon.

In the west, sure. But it's plenty healthy in the east.

The 3D part is. The system isn't. Nintendo has to squeeze out a few more games so N3DS buyers don't feel burned.
>>Vita died
This won't be true no matter how many times you say it. Sony left it to rot and it is still somehow getting game after game.
>>Switch has mediocre sales
Not really a surprise considering Zelda can't single handedly carry a console. The multiplayer offerings would be good if Nintendo stepped up its online infrastructure, but that has yet to happen.

still selling as much as the best selling console means you are dead now

The appeal of handhelds to children is the same as always but they now have to compete with smartphones. As an adult I really don't see the point of portable vidya. When I'm out and about it's usually for a purpose or socializing. There's very little time for gaming. When I'm at home I play on superior platforms. Smartphones are also competition in this case too for on the go gaming/entertainment.

People who actually care about handheld game grew up, kid nowadays is only care about smartphone games.

There are more games being released on the vita than the 3DS. Both are dead. The switch is sold out everywhere due to low inexcusable supply.

Normies use their phones for shitty games.
Companies expect the handheld to compete with console sales.
Developers don't like the limitations of the lower powered hardware, so don't develop for it, so that they can continue bad practices on the consoles/PC.
Thus, we have the death of the handheld console.

As Otomachine, maybe. It's not looking good even in Japan.

This isn't a thing.
Long story short, the appeal of handhelds for the general public has been overtaken by freemium smarphones games, leaving handhelds as an enthusiast's device. And it's only through this niche that any games are made for them.

Smartphone games in general have taken over as it lets normies and soccer moms play vidya without the social stigma of being a "gamer."
>>389254079
I own the damn thing. I have almost zero intention to play it on a tv.
>>389255606
As it should be. Quality>quantity.
