I wonder if history will repeat with PCs, and especially handheld PCs, in the present day while Nintendo, PS, and Xbox crash and burn should there be a second Video Game Crash.

Nintendo will not change, maybe they will get out of the US.
Sony may sack their console departments and stick to everything else.
Microsoft is already getting over with Xbox.
Steam Deck and clones will become the new handhelds, along with (possibly) Android gaming phones with controllers.
PC architectures will displace console ones.
