I mean...last gen Nintendo saw the largest hardware sales collapse gaming has ever seen and they're more or less abandoning the home console market with the Switch. So...

I don't you'll see Nintendo stop selling games anytime soon, but their focus will likely continue to shift to mobile in the coming years.

If you look at the area of Growth , both Sony and Nintendo have expanded to both support iOS & AndroidOS... Which is not just Only Smartphones anymore...now streaming Box's, and SmartTV's also...

 

Both Sony and Nintendo See such devices as more along the lines of Expanded Eco systems Nodes...

 

Nintendo and Sony both are now investing more so with Sony into creating spin off or porting Legacy to Smart devices, because they know that when Smart TV 'S will be the Norm going forward...they are pretty much Light Entertainment Computing in the Living room by Default...

 

Thus just a Bluetooth game pad and you can game right from a smart TV So Sony for instance is not setting the Replacement of the Living Room Console anytime soon , but they did branch out into making sure PlayStation Software development by a smart devices software studio & publishing will give Sony a presence on smart TV's just as well as if there was a PlayStation under the TV moving forward.

 

That's why with Remote Play, PlayStation Now, and PlayStation Vue...add in a dual shock 3 or 4 you can game off of one single PS4 and have a dual shock on every other Smart TV in your house remote connect to the PS4...PlayStation Now , and PlayStation View pretty much makes any smart TV a mini PlayStation.

 

Microsoft's presence in the living room is of course Xbox , Laptops being able to go anywhere in your house, and the media center PC , surface ...but one area where both Nintendo and Sony have a much larger presence is of course is iOS & AndroidOS.

 

Which is where quite frankly due to streaming boxes like Amazon fire , Android TV, have as well as Apple TV is the main Smart Box's for TV's aside from game console's... Microsoft's presence in the smart TV industry is pretty small vs Sony and Nintendo since AndroidOS and iOS have the bigger stake in market share in that arena.

 

That's why Nintendo & Sony expanded...
