The handheld domination in Japan is quite curious.
Why have so many Japanese gamers switched to handheld gaming and when did the phenomenon start?
I may be mistaken, but as far as I know, home consoles were very, very strong in Japan in previous generations...SNES, PS1, PS2, etc..were all very strong.
So...what exactly happened between the GBA-DS transition that made so many Japanese gamers ditch home consoles?
