Is it too soon for me to claim victory for smartphones?

Yes, unless you want to change the narrative to "smartphones are killing handhelds and home consoles alike".

I've been saying for several months that gen 8 of home consoles is going to be smaller than gen 7. That's because the Wii blue ocean swan across to smartphone and tablet land leaving us more or less with gen 6 numbers + new markets (as in countries, not demographics) since gen 6.

I'd love to be proved wrong. Hopefully you can post me a great big I told you so in 5 years time when PS4/Xbone/Wii U have cracked the half way point to  Mehdi's fabled 1 billion mark.
