Is the market in decline, or is it Nintendo?

Well we already know the PS3 and 360 markets are shrinking. Once their successors are out and selling lower amounts of software due to install base, there will be another huge drop off then as releases on 360 and PS3 dry up.

If you look in the OP, the drops for PS360 are not big, once their successors arrive they'll fix their decline, their YoY drops are not as high as Nintendos.

You realise that a new console generation is like a giant reset button, right? 12 months from now the PS4/Nextbox combo might have just a few hundred thousand units between them in the UK (assuming they both launch at the end of this year), and software releases on PS3/360 will already be massively drying up.

Do you think they can sell close to 1644k again in that circumstance next January?
