Zelda and Final Fantasy have basically flip flopped in Japan from 20 years ago.

Final Fantasy X destroyed Zelda: Wind Waker sales (and FF7 destroyed Ocarina of Time).

Now it's the reverse, Tears of the Kingdom is demolishing Final Fantasy XVI and BOTW destroyed FF7 Remake.

It's almost like in Japan the PS2 was massively more popular than the Gamecube, and now the Switch is massively more popular than the PS4/PS5.

Abandoning the dedicated home console was a great decision for Nintendo. They no longer have to deal with N64/Gamecube/Wii U level of flops in Japan.

I agree, that was the best move that Nintendo has ever done.
