We can discuss if they are making more money per user and how, if they've spended less money on development cycles, etc. But the base is smaller in both cases. Trying to expand to mobile (Nintendo), PC (PSNow Sony), other markets (amiibo, Labo) isn't a coincidence. Click to expand... Click to shrink...

It isn't a coincidence, but it's also two things that aren't related. Correlation =/= causation.Nintendo, Sony, MSFT, etc are not expanding their businesses because some part of their business is failing or not selling as much, which is your hypothesis.They are expanding their business because they can, have the resources and there's an opportunity, as any sane business in any area would do.Also gaming revenue is at an all time high, I don't think they are exactly worrying about loosing the portable market to cellphones, especially Nintendo that is selling ports at higher prices than original releases and games that on portable would have been $40, are now $60 and no one seems to care.
