Oh god, give it a rest nobody cares.
Also, PS4 + XB1 are wildly ahead of PS3 + 360 in the same timeframe. It's only Nintendo that is down which leads to the assumption the whole industry is down.
As long as PS4 and Xb1 keep it up third parties will have the same userbase to appeal to as they did last gen.
They're already succeeding tho, Dead Rising a 3rd party exclusive over 1m on XB1, loads of third party games on PS4 and XB1 over 1m as well.
And if people want to celebrate, they can and will, don't force your opinions on people expecting them to feel bad about WiiU doing bad, most here don't care.

This, i find it funny how some Ninty fans are still trying to downplay the PS4, completly ignoring it had the biggest launch of any system.
Fact, NINTY is the one responsible for the steep decline of the console market. Not Sony or MS as their consoles are actually doing good.
There is no assumption some dont want to face that Ninty is the only that had a huge decline.

Interesting reading, but I'd disagree. When you compare new hardware sales to the sales of the predecessor in the same time frame (as opposed to adjusted in time of the generation) only one console has not faceplanted in sales right after launch; the PS4. The X1 is doing OK compared to the 360, but that's because the 360 is at the very bottom of the chart.
It's hardly a Nintendo trend when Microsoft and Sony both have a console and a handheld respectively following the same pattern. The only conclusion is that while developers were ready for new hardware, most consumers were not.
So yeah, hardware might be up compared to the same timeframe over last generation, but the way that's happening is really most telling. It says that the die-hard fanbases have really shown up in droves, but after that there's a drought before you can sell to a more discriminating consumer. It's probably not entirely fair to compare generation sales because the marketplace has done a lot of growing up over the last generation.

thats fair, but that doesnt change the fact that the biggest decline HAS been with Ninty's home consoles. We have to use previous generations to determine a decline.
