Not really sure what your point is? This gen is coming to an end - everything is slowing but price cuts will keep sales reasonably healthy for another year or two - there is a lot of room for price cuts in all cases. What will really accelerate declines is new consoles, Nintendo are obviously gearing up with Wii 2 and I imagine this time next year Sony and MS will be getting ready to reveal the new PS and Xbox so yes - things are obviously going to start slowing now, we have reached the peak - but this gen should push past 100m easily before it is through.

well my points are; have all consoles peaked?  and will the decline be rapid?

I say yes and possibly.

Wii could well evaporate if the "new Wii" is priced well.

You are probably right about Wii if Wii 2 debuts again at 250-300$ Wii sales will collapse to PS2 levels but with $50 price cut this year and another price cut in 2012 X360 should keep it's yearly sales and PS3 will probably grow YOY.
