No home console is going to perform as well as the PS2 ever again. That's a pipe dream. The console market has shrunken in that regard since gaming has splintered since then. This is about what's to be expected. 

Now say if the NX was a hit, I'm not sure if you can classify that as handheld or console though.

Exactly.  A pipe dream.  

 

Meanwhile the ps4 is matching it's predecessor in a really tricky home console market.  Bravo.  It's the shining light in the japanese home console industry.  

 

This market alone will add a minimum of 8m units to ps4's lead over the xb1 worldwide this gen.  And they say Japan doesn't matter!  

 

It's almost single-handedly the reason why the ps4 line up is so diverse and much different to it's rival the xbox.  

 

This. There's also still a chance the PS4 will match the PS3, possibly pass it. Pro will help keep its baseline sales higher. We have FF15 and FF7 Remake coming, which will help boost sales quite a bit. DQ11. VR may also be a small hit in Japan. Just so many things left that will help sales.
