The Switch is catering to that market there. It being portable and all. People spend less time playing in front of a TV and more on portable devices they can play wherever they want. 

The market has been heading towards that for years now, in Japan. And it's been discussed countless times here as well. That you take this as an opportunity to say it all falls on Sony's fault is showing you don't know or see what the gaming habit is like over there. Sony has tried to get into the handheld/mobile market. They made some strides but ultimately chose to focus on their strength: home consoles. Just like Nintendo is doing with the Switch, by making their console be a handheld, which is where they've always been unmatched. It's no question they succeed in Japan since they cater to the market that's still the most relevant there, both for Nintendo and the customers.

It requires a giant leap in logic to consider mobile and handheld gaming similar, let alone the same. Besides, if it was as simple as portability, then the Vita should have achieved higher lifetime sales than the PS4 in Japan.

Also, it's perplexing that you take offense with mnementh's post for him saying that Sony's sales declined because of their own strategic choices when you yourself are saying that Sony made the choice not to adapt to any changes in the Japanese market.

You're the master leaper of logic. So I'll take this as a compliment.

Have a good one.
