Basically that Nintendo with a big console has had dominant streaks in Japan before. Sony without a handheld console is definitely more and more irrelevant in Japan. But other big takeaways to consider: Sony's new consoles will be harder to gauge due to digital, Support from PS3---->PS4------>PS5 will probably see relatively little change, Sony/Nintendo/MS will struggle to have big games during console transitional periods due to dropping dedicated Handhelds. |
Nintendo no longer requires a dedicated handheld to continue moving in the portable market though.
