As much as the userbase of newer apple products is growing more rapidly, this is probably driven by the growth in the number of Apple fans from previous successful device releases; and Apple's success of (somehow) convincing people that expensive electronics are disposable. Beyond that, the question I would have is how much over-lap is there between iPod, iPhone and iPad sales and how many of these sales are replacements. If someone buys two iPods, two iPhones and two iPads between the launch of a console and the launch of the follow up console the userbase of ios may look larger while actually being smaller than the game console.

I know, I was just defending the iPhone sales numbers I had brought up. Instead, let's just go worst case scenario (assuming 100% overlap) and simply use the iPad numbers. They serve my purpose since they are gargantuan anyways.
