Is an old one but 2 billion bucks is around 200 billion yen.

Strange, so that means the decline really started since 1997 and was boosted in 06-08 (because of the Wii, I imagine) before returning back downwards.

You forgot about the handhelds 06-08 had also a PSP/DS that did well. Also the hardware market numbers are a bit skewed because selling 5 million PS2's for 199 during the 03-05 years is better for Sony than selling 2.5 million PS4's for 399.

Oh I thought home gaming market, did not include handhelds, that is why I said Wii.



 

Yeah but you asked consoles/Handhelds =p

I just meant, that I thought the graph only covered consoles, because I thought "Home Gaming" is just another way of saying Home Consoles. 



 

The 3DS is over 30k!!!! And beats the PS4 again!

Minecraft U, M and S at RIO and Kirby legs continues!!!

Yokai Watch 3 finally reaches 1mil!!!! Which I believe the first 1 mil seller game in Japan this year?

And the Pokemon Go effect continues!

Theres hardly any big games for the 3DS coming (I think Pokemon being the next and maybe the very last one). Lets see how that will affect its Hardware sales



Pocky Lover Boy!

Can't wait for the hardware announcements in a few weeks so ps4 can go back into beast mode.


Sales are definitely not normal right now with rumoured shortages and consumers no doubt holding off on their purchase until the new ps4's are revealed. Excellent sales considering.

Wouldn't that be more likely to do the opposite? With people then waiting for new consoles instead of buying PS4s now.

I expect them to announce a new ps4 and a price cut in a few weeks.  Possibly a ps neo and slim or ps neo and new regular ps4 sku that's cheaper and improved.  

Sales will be down below it's usual 20k beast mode baseline until then

Stop bait trolling.... You could just say that 3DS is first and end of story. You were doing something similar in the COMG thread and a mod warned you. You want another here too?
