The collapse of the home console was apparent 10 years ago. Japanese third parties know it, which is why they have moved onto the far bigger overseas market and are making more money than ever by doing it, Sony knows it, which is why it understands the decline in Playstation, and Nintendo knows it, which is why they no longer make home console's only.

N64 - 4.5M
GCN - 4M
Wii - 12.7M
WiiU - 3.3M

PS1 - 18.8M
PS2 - 21.2M
PS3 - 10.2M
PS4 - 9.4M (no major price cuts below $299)

The fact that the PSVita outsold the N64/Gamecube and was able to reach 50% of PS4's LT sales without any major exclusives or IPs is very telling. No Final Fantasy, no Dragon Quest, no Monster Hunter etc

Another thing that’s telling is the fact none of y’all want to shout out no home console and say NSW is portable and that’s what sells in japan..... then wake up to see that argument is flawed due to NSW lite vs the original sku
