well just because the disruption strategy isn't as successful doesn't mean it's not still a disruption strategy.
Disruption basically stems from inventing a product that takes the place of another product without competing with it as a similar product. In the same way that Nintendo is disrupting the video game market, to another extent it's disrupting the home exercise and board game market.

This disruption is taking the PC capabilities and ripping them in half. Whereas before, PCs were designed to run programs, an unchallenged field. Only PCs could run programs. When home gaming came about, there's this distinct change in that idea. However, PCs were still head and shoulders above what the home consoles were capable of. Nowadays, these consoles are very much able to hold their own.
To illustrate, before, someone bought a 1000$ computer to do everything. Now, there is the option of buying a 500$ computer and a 300$ console, with a similar total capability, but just in different components.

Notice that for the most part, the PC market is made up of internet/word processor models with very little emphasis on video processing.

plus don't forget if you buy a pc you still need to upgade it quite regularly, just to keep up to date and to play on all the new games that come out, if you opt for a console you know all the games that are released for it will work for it, so you don't have to worry about upgrading lol (not for a while lol).
