What people need to realize is that development costs for the next gen are going up massively, and therefore require BIGGER sales per game than ever before. Consoles losing ground to mobile is very bad news for core gamers, we should never wish "good riddance" to the gamers Wii brought to console gaming. Console gaming cannot exist with the sales numbers of the yesteryear. To make up for the higher dev costs, games need to sell more.

No core gamer should be happy with these numbers, or hope for "casuals' to go away.

No consoles sold=small userbase=less games sold=no big console games made as the sales cannot justify the massive development budgets.
