Lets not blame anyone, just let us rethink again that console industry is lack some innovation at the moment, and that's why most people (not just in Japan) choosing an alternate gadget like Tablet and smart phones to entertain their hunger on entertainment. Also how world economy crisis's help the inflation is several country and make some people unable to afford consoles (even japan is influenced by this economy crisis ). I am not saying Tablet or smartphone is affordable but they are more useful and dependable more then a dedicated gaming device. Maybe some area like US or some area in Europe is not directly affected (even China is more prosperous now), so we can say The market will not dead but the way console marketed and their shape is gonna be different in the future.
