360 did have a bad start (so did PS3, though).

So, what is the size of the market then, if you think 7th gen sales were a one off and you obviously project the sales somewhere? Where did the people go and do what if they no longer buy games?

Well the most obvious answer would be that they went back to whatever they were doing before the 7th gen and they started buying games

Yeah, sales may look like they fell off a cliff this gen compared to last gen, but last gen they also climbed up that cliff in the first place. It wasn't just a steep drop in sales, it was a steep rise followed by a steep drop. That's why I call it a one off.

I agree. But why aren't they buying games anymore? Did the market stop existing or did the industry just stop caring about them? Why are the current gamers there? Do they buy any kind of shit because it's games, or are they served? And how big is that market? How volatile it is?
