I feel like part of it was that starting in the 7th gen AAA console games became much more Westernized in their style, whereas the kind of games that were popular on PS1/PS2 in Japan like traditional JRPGs mostly moved to portables, so the audience followed. |
Yes I agree, my point is that userbase will not massively change that dynamic as the audience for these games have already been investing a playstation/PC as what they want is not offered by Nintendo or at least wasn't
If anything S2 will just eat into playstations software sales versus expanding it.
Having said that, the younger S2 market makes viral new hits/trends more likely. Kinda like how Monster Hunter exploded in the west with Worlds, there is always potential for new interests to emerge.
