Lol, this is bad faith conversation because I literally state the bolded "its clear hardware has been consolidated and that doesn't necessarily mean loss of interest"... I just think you're fighting in a corner verses having an actual conversation

Says the individual that only cared to respond to the posters that suggested another poster saying the Japanese market is dead/dying. We responded to that poster with a thriving/increasing Nintendo market. You then made a comparison showing the highest generation in history compared to now. You realize you appear to be defending the idea the poster was right about a dead/dying Japanese market? Since we are ofcourse talking about the console market, how are you not understanding that just because PS is declining doesn't mean the market is dying? Nintendo is increasing along with don't we have reports of the PC market growing?

Fair enough, Maybe I jumbled some of my posts so my sentiment wasn't clear. I don't agree with that user, the very first thing I said was:

1. "The *Console* gaming market is certainly not dead but it has to be looked at as a holistic whole, not any individual platform or publisher....
In the digital age I'm not sure we ever got a clear picture with what is happening with Japanese software overall. I'm very curious to know whether its been stable, declining or increasing."

2. I had decline in my mind when I responded to you and you said "You can't sell more hardware in a declining market for one."

We agree it's not dead.
