What is happening here lol. 

I don't strongly disagree, but to suggest the Japan console market is in a good place and healthy for PlayStation is a bit of a stretch. 

They haven't done very well at all. Especially with zero competition. 

Do you believe the condition of the Japanese console market is due to smart phones?

It's certainly one of the reasons. Considering smartphone games total gross was nearly 4x higher than console games gross last year. 

 

Bearing in mind that console games are $60 mostly and mobile games are free.
