laugh now if you want but at the end of next gen when (wii + ps3 + 360) > (wii U + ps4 + nextBox) marking the first ever decline in the console market you won't be laughing anymore.

Oh, c'mon! that ain't gonna happen: at the very least they next gen will end up like this one will; around 250m (more likely 260)

Yes it will happen, not sure why Im replying to a person who thinks this generation will only sell around 250m (hint - its already shipped >225m) yes the wii's on its last legs but the HD Twins have got a few years/pricecuts left this generation will sell >300m

yes, it's shipped 225m - and with the WiiU coming out later this year its gonna cut in to PS360 sales a bit. This year - if they're lucky - PS360 will ship 14m each (no more than that for sure!) and and Wii might have another 5m in it, so they'll end up around 260m sure - but 300 million?!

Anyways: I stand by what I said earlier (or what I intended to say at least) that the next generation HW will equal the current gen sales wise - be it 260m or 300m, that's what next gen will bring at the very least!
