The only reason the GBA sold a 'mere 80 million' is because of it's short life, the DS and PSP stopped it selling.

And yes i did forget about price, so that will put some off, but i still dont think PSP/DS will put as many off as you think, i mean you are still not including any normal expansion of the industry (at least to 200-210M...and thats only a small amount becuase the industry was supposedly stagnating) then you say 10M for Wiis blue ocean (sounds reasonable to me)
so that would be 210-220M IF the PSP didn't exist (and DS on it's own isn't selling that much more than GBA)
Yet you are saying because of a few extra DS sales and the PSP that 50-60 million gamers will not bother with a home console.
Ok there is the high price issue as well but i would be very suprised if less than 180million consoles are sold.
