Simple, the console decline is nowhere near as severe as the portable decline.

Nah, or just using double standards now, selling 1/3 the previous generation is "doomed" while selling 2/3 the previous generation is nothing to be worried about.

6th generation, handhelds-80 million, consoles-200 million

7th generation, handhelds-235 million, consoles-280 million

8th generation, handhelds-80 million, consoles-180-200 million

The handheld & console markets have both reverted back to roughly 6th gen levels yet one is dead and the other is fine.

Do I really need to explain the difference between a 1/3 drop and as 2/3 drop?

PS4's continuing strong sales show there is still great demand for consoles moving forwards. But no dedicated portable is still selling strongly. 3DS weekly sales are poor, and Vita's worse.
