Playstation sales in Japan have been in decline for a long time, despite the PS4 worldwide success and it selling 30M more units than the PS3, the PS4 still sold less than the PS3 there. Despite the Switch completely dominating the physical games charts, the PS5 was not far behind the PS4 there, and the PS5 is now decling heavily because Sony is giving Japan the middle finger, raising prices and not having many exclusives that appeal for that market.

Depends on what you consider crushing. PS5 could sale as much as 120 million depending on when Sony launches PS6. Currently PS5 is tracking behind PS4, which sold less than 120 but PS5 could remain on the market without a successor longer than PS4 allowing PS5 to hit 120 million. Switch is looking to reach the coveted 160 million or even higher. That puts Switch 40 million above PS5, I personally think that should qualify as getting beat and atleast approaching getting crushed. So no, not really delusional just depends on your definition. This is supposedly a market leader (PS).

Yes you are, because the vast majority of users on this website have changed significantly over the years, and I know, because I've been here that long to notice.

Computers aren't "gods", but they do in fact help out a hell of a lot with humanity when it comes to a multitude of tasks and we naturally need computers to operate various systems and services, because without them we'd have nothing. Consoles owe practically everything to a computer, because you don't just sketch a console on papers and print it at the factor, no, it has to be designed specifically on a computer. Your games are made on computers, consoles in their alpha stage builds are basically Small Form Factor computers, as seen here:

Just because you do not need a computer for work does not mean others do not. What you are trying to imply here is that no one needs a computer, and that is just factually wrong, and you know this, but you're acting in a "baity" manner which harkens back to my comment about you being a relic of a deleted timeline.

People still use laptops and gaming laptops?. My partner has a gaming laptop, previous Computex showed off brand new gaming laptops, and Nvidia will have their brand new 5000 series GPU's for said laptops. So this myth of "no one needs anything related to a PC/Laptop" is horseshit, and again, you know this, but you're wanting to point and mock/laugh, but it only makes you look worse (and believe me, someone on the team is going to find out who you really are). 

There's nothing "important" for Streaming fans?. I used to sub to Amazon prime and used my PC to stream movies/shows, and my partner did the same on their gaming laptop. Why on earth would either of us want to watch a full length movie on a tiny phone screen when we could watch it from our respective PC's with our separate speaker systems?. 

No, you really are delusional, most of us here are citing your delusions with our own evidence and you're just sitting there wagging your finger, acting like that somehow matters. 

If that's crushed then what did PS4 do to the Wii U? Or PS1 and PS2 do to the 64 and GC? Switch outselling PS5 4 to 3 isn't really crushing. And total software will be very close in the end. Playstation main profits are probably from subscriptions, dlc and micro-transactions

PCs are for work yes. But for entertainment i don't need them and never will.

And many other people don't need consoles or handhelds or TVs or home cinemas for their entertainment. So what's your point?

An 8K TV does a better job for movies and picture quality than a PC.

You can connect a PC to an 8K TV, same as a console or a Bluray-player.

And by the way... which 8K-model do you have and which 8K-content do you use on it?

A 20k home cinema will never be surpassed by a tiny speaker system with a PC. You need a good amplifier to get the maximum out of a sound system. You need an amplifier for a big subwoofer wich costs 1000$+ alone! 

You can connect a PC to a home cinema system, including amplifiers and speakers.

And by the way... do you have a home cinema  worth 20k USD or is this just theoretical? Pics or it didn't happen.

I can do everything i need without a PC.

And other people can do anything they need without a consoles or handheld. Different interests and different quality standards.

Had Nintendo not been in Japan, would the PS5 and games sold more?

That's your lead.

Not the right spirit, it's tribalism at its best, trying to paint people who use common sense as unreasonable idol worshippers. So anyone who isn't on his side of thinking is tribal, according to him. That's a very tribal mindset and highly hypocritical. He needs to looks at himself very carefully and stop pointing fingers at everyone whose opinions he dislikes.

Then says it's the nature of the website. Why then dwell on a sales forum, and try to make people feel bad or make then look bad for talking sales? There are so many other gaming-centric forums to be on.

This of course doesn't mean Nintendo and Sony are not in competition, they absolutely are. But two things can be competition in different degrees. You will see a significant bigger correlation between PC adoption in Japan increasing while Sony brand gets weaker
