The Japanese market is really turning ugly if you look at recent Media Create sales, we recently hit the lowest tracked sales week in modern Japanese gaming history like a week ago, and numbers are similarily ugly this week.
In short ... nothing is really doing great in Japan right now in the traditional gaming sphere.
Can Nintendo rescue the market yet again? What does the NX have to do/be in order to change things?
Or are companies like Konami correct and mobile is the future of Japan? Will even Nintendo themselves becoming increasingly reliant on mobile for profit now that they themselves are also conceeding support for mobile?
I'll say since I actually just recently returned from Japan, the "everyone is obsessed with mobile" thing is no joke. I basically spent 1-2 hours a day on the subway/metro every day there and it's all mobile domination right now. Yes you'll see the odd 3DS, and the even rarer Vita, but it's not looking good right now.
