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.

You can deny it all you want, but the statistics speak for themselves. 3DS is on track to be Nintendo's worst selling portable besides the Virtual Boy, Vita is a disaster, and the portable market has collapsed by over 60% from last gen.
