Consoles are usually 20 M plus why are they only in the teens

I think consoles just don't offer the type of games they generally enjoy. Atleast when compared to hand held consoles.
Also, consoles usually don't hit 20m plus in Japan. Only PS1 and PS2 did.

A number of reasons. Only PS1 and PS2 have ever hit around 20 million mark for home consoles.
The is more than 1 popular console in japan this time around.

They already did. Let me look for the post.
EDIT: That should do it: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=3837946
And Vgchartz is not afiliated with Media Create or anything, they have their own tracking methods.
It's that's the hardest week of the year and perhaps because it's too far it's harder to track japan (for vgchartz)
Plus, ioi should be sleeping by now, let him rest (even though I have a WW thread ready just in case 
)

Well I think Japanese gamers just want the same genres they've always played. The games they want just happen to be on handheld consoles.
The games core American gamers want are garbage on hand held consoles. Not just in graphics, but all around quality.

Well yeah, if the typical Japanese genres were notably inferior on handhelds, then they would stay away just like Americans do now. On the other hand, I highly doubt that Americans would switch to handhelds if the games were up to par sans graphics. |
I feel like it should mentioned that Americans buy everything, not just machines that pump out the best graphics. Popular games in Japan are generally popular in NA as well.
Far more PSP and DS consoles have been sold in NA than Japan. iPhone and Android are very successful gaming devices. Wii is also the best selling home console in NA. I think that's enough proof that Americans don't just care about graphics like many believe.
The games core gamers enjoy just happen to be on the most powerful machines. Its not just the graphics that appeal to them, those titles just happen to have the most depth or offer superior multiplayer.

That's what I thought this thread was going to be about too.
Instead my answer would have been calm your ass down and wait for them, its not like this is a pay-to-use site.
It's funny how people complain when the numbers are slow coming in when its not like they're being charged anything to see them.
Well, it's already been noted that only 2 consoles have sold over 20 mil and both were highly dominant in the market, but there is definitely something else at play here. Space is an issue in Japan, and so is the means of travel. Handhelds are small, so are their games, and you can easily play them on the train. Trains are far more popular in Japan than the West. Hell, trains are the reason why Gunpei Yokoi came up with the concept of Game and Watch games, as he observed a bored business man playing with a calculator to pass the time. Culturally it makes sense for them to shift towards handhelds, which fit better in an on-the-go culture not based on non-personal transportation.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
