Without Playstation imo gaming would be in another crisis and succumb to the threat of mobile gaming already because it didn't innovate enough.

So my conclusion is, without Sony targeting the young adults and +30 age groups, Nintendo would be the leader with a fickle install base (kids, teenagers, older casuals), they are not loyal as the transition from Wii to Wii U demonstrated.  As we know, kids, teens and casuals mostly flocked to mobiles. This means Nintendo competing for the same audience with the dominating mobiles.

While it obviously wasn't the OP's intention to talk about handhelds, you can't make such statements and then completely disregard handhelds. Especially because the PlayStation brand includes handheld consoles.

I was being sarcastic.
