Just to chime in: Playstation hasn't been stable in Japan, at all. They had huge success with the PSP and moderate success with the Vita. We shouldn't forget that. I know for some reason people like to ignore handheld sales, but in Japan Playstation has declined a lot in popularity over the past decade. The Vita sold over 5 million units in Japan, I think. So they will probably decline by 5-6 million in sales this generation. Which is probably the reason why there are so many rumors of a handheld or hybrid PS6 version. 

I was in fact talking about their home consoles which is the context of the conversation, this stemmed from comments about the PS5 poor sales. The benchmark has never been matching PSP+PS3 or PS4+PS Vita, just as the Switch hasn't been benhmarked against Wii + DS lol

With the Switch shattering Wii+3DS combined sales, there's actually not much else Switch can be benchmarked against now, though...
