the way i see it, the big three sold a lot of consoles last gen: 100 mill wii, 80 mill ps3, and 79 mill for xbox. That's over 260 million consoles, i don't think that 260 million consoles will be sold, but i still think a company could sell over 100 million consoles.

WiiU could sell significantly less than Wii (even 80m would mean a 20m reduction).  Xbox and Playstation could sell 80m each just like this gen then and we would still have an overall decline.  So yeah one declining and the others reaching previous gens or one significantly declining while the other 2 gain is plausible with an overall decline.

I'm curious how the Vita and 3DS will do.
