Sounds like too much effort to prove something that you aren't fully contesting yourself, hence why you say "almost all deals" and "mostly towards Xbox, not Switch."
Wii sales of ~12.5m didn't have anything to do with a decline in interest in console gaming, that was because of sparse third party support which in turn hurt momentum. Wii U sales of ~3.5m do not demonstrate a general decline in interest in console gaming either, because the Wii U failed everywhere in the world.
Gen over gen Japan won't show a major decline. It's going to be within a few million.
Gen 8: ~24m (3DS) + ~9.5m (PS4) + ~6m (PSV) + ~3.5m (Wii U) + ~100k (XB1) = ~43m
Gen 9 (projected): 30m+ (Switch) + ~8m (PS5) + ~200k (XSX|S) = 38.2m+
Nintendo's sales going up while Sony's get split roughly in half point to the conclusion that Nintendo is taking away gamers from Sony. Which would hardly be a surprise with a greater number of small Japanese third parties shifting to multiplatform development instead of making their games only for PlayStation.

Lol, you hurting from all that reaching? The man proved you wrong, just admit it. Japan is handheld country. Has been for a few generations, now. No home console has perfomed exceptionally well there since the PS2. And Nintendo happen to be the king of handheld gaming.
Also, the biggest part of why the Wii died is because people were over motion controls 2/3 of the way into the gen and all that was left was a very underpowered machine. The fad got a boost when it came to PS3 and 360, but quickly died after that. It's why Kinect 2.0 failed. Why Labo failed. And as people left the Wii, they either moved to console gaming or moved to PS3/360.

1st bold: Switch outsold Switch Lite like nothing.
2nd bold: i guess PSVR will never be big and never have a bright future for Sony.
3rd bold: Ring Fit Adventure says hello.
