I think the Famicom was still very strong in 88-90, stronger than wikipedia numbers would make you think.
Yes hardware sales dwindled, but because everyone already had it.
Yes if you look at the 100 best gale sellers, the year that is the most represented is 86, but you also have to consider there were less releases so more people bought the same games. There were 86 cartridge games released in 1986, about 120 in 87, and about 150 for each of the following 3 years. I wouldn't be surprised if the total software sales in some of the later years surpassed 1986, in fact they probably do just on three games alone: SMB3, DQ3 and DQ4. According to Miyamoto 1 out of 3 household in Japan had a copy of SMB3, by that logic 1 out of 3 households also had a copy of DQ3 and 4. All that happened in 88-89-90.

Finally if you look at Japanese magazines, the Famicom was still the system getting the most coverage in 1989 and even well into 1990, even with the PCEngine, Megadrive and GB,

Maybe the game is racist because there are no person with yellow or light brown skin on the cover therefore the game thinks such people can not have a successful life. For that matter the only church on the cover looks christian and the house on the bottom right looks like an american plantation house, oh boy why were boomers like this?!
