Funny how none of that works for Japan, I wonder why. So why have home consoles suffered such a decline in Japan? Your answer is the same in the west for handhelds, lack of support. Your smartphone cant play anything relevant the 3DS can, yet the PS4 and 3DS will share a very significant multiplat soon lol. Maybe because they are more similar to each other than the Iphone will be to 3DS ever. 

Support is a symptom, not a cause. Cultural factors play a strong role here; in Japan, high population density, long hours, and long commutes make portables more appealing than consoles, this has been true for some time now. Portables have more strongly entrenched roots there to resist the erosion of their base, but even so 3DS and Vita are in decline from their predecessors. Ultimately, Japan alone is not enough to shore up a global industry in decay.

But according to you smartphones are killing them, wouldnt that make smartphones an even bigger threat in Japan since you know they are portable? Yeah lol, so try again. Also Japan has been this way for a while, yet PS2 sold fine there. So no im not buying these bullshit excuses. You know what I find funny, PS2 had MH and DQ. Now handhelds have them and home consoles fell off a cliff when they lost them. Imagine that.
