Even shuhei Yoshida should see Playstation as niche when compared to smartphone gaming market or the whole gaming industry. Nothing wrong on it and niche also shouldn't mean small, just reduced in size compared to a full market. That is why we say companies need to carve for a niche that only they fulfill the market.

That's only in context of the PS Vita, which obviously struggled in a post-smartphone world. I think he and the rest of SIE understand that console gaming is too fundamentally different to be compared with mobile gaming. 

It is "same market" smartphones are "replacement products" type of competitor to consoles. But you get the idea.
