It's interesting how that ties into some of the famous missteps from Japanese video game companies in the past.
Nintendo went overconfidently into the 5th console generation with the cartridge-based Nintendo 64, allowing Sony to step in out of nowhere and eat their lunch since Nintendo alienated developers who obviously wanted the format where they weren't bound to the small storage sizes on cartridges. Including their bread-and-butter partnerships like Capcom with their Mega Man games and Square with the Final Fantasy series, both defecting to make PlayStation games.
Albeit their lunch was eaten by another Japanese company, but Sony made an overconfident hardware misstep themselves a couple generations later after feeling invincible with the success of the PS2, releasing the PS3 which was technically impressive from a hardware standpoint, but difficult to develop for, causing them to alienate developers (see Gabe Newell's famous comments) and lose steam for a lot of that generation.
