You are correct about Japan, but Nintendo isn't avoiding anyone. They are just doing their own thing.

PlayStation abandoned Japan for the west, Western style console games now take to long to come out, have the weird "woke" culture difference, cost way more to develop and are overall stale. On top of players having access to more games and being way more critical and picky over games that don't check certain boxes.

Ironically enough one of the more critically acclaimed games in the last couple years is from a Japanese studio they basically all but shut down. In the meantime Nintendo (and mobile)'has basically completely taken over Japan.
Nintendo used to put out the same sort of product Sony did. They couldn't gather the third party support and couldn't compete in sales. That's when they decided to put out non-conventional products and never looked back. They found success in being purposely different.

It clearly was a great idea because their products are different enough that the gamer that buys a Sony product has no issue buying a Nintendo one as well.

It's been almost 20 years since Nintendo tried to compete on hardware and they likely never will do so again.

Japan is the inventor of all GOAT gaming. To neglect that, is neglecting history. The same Japan that Sony built a corporation with. Without them, there would be no Playstation.

The so called "Childs Toy" is one of the greatest thing in interactive entertainment. Portable as well. Even Sony borrowed motion controls and a fake portable screen, copying Nintendo.
Nintendo use to be the goat the day they neutered themselves and stopped competing and releasing a real nikka console was the day I said fukk em. Seriously fukk I look like playing games with no dialogue over the age of 35. Like I said in a previous thread only way a nintendo console is coming in my house is if my daughter ever wants one. Any nikka over the age of 35 who has no kids and buys one for themselves I’m convinced them nikkaz don’t wash they ass and feet.

Switch in my opinion is the best console of last generation however I hope the Switch 2 crashes and burns. The amount of anti consumerism practices they've implemented stopped me from buying a 2 completely. Until the new smash comes out but other than that...:pacspit:

The PS5 is just an efficient XBox.
