By that logic 360 should have peaked by 2009. It already had Halo, Gears, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, Fable, Forza, Assassins Creed, Battlefield, Madden, FIFA, Batman Arkham, Mass Effect, Left 4 Dead, Bioshock, Borderlands, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Resident Evil, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Devil May Cry, Dead Space, Dragon Age

Same goes for PS3, it should have peaked by 2010. It had Gran Turismo, God of War, Uncharted, Infamous, LittleBig Planet, Ratchet & Clank, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Madden, FIFA, Batman Arkham, Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto, Bioshock, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, Resident Evil, Dead Space, Devil May Cry, Assassins Creed, Dragon Age

Other than Kinect and price cuts/revisions there hasnt been a whole lot besides sequels to already released games for these consoles in the past few years.

You're forgetting 2 massively important things when it comes to the 360 - Kinect and massive price drops during holiday periods.

As for the PS3, yes, it did peak in 2010 but, much like the 360, it has a lot of room to drop prices.

Kinect released in 2010 yet 2011 was a stronger year for 360. Also PS3 peaked in 2011 not 2010.

Ur not factoring in that 3DS has room for price cuts as well. Its been over 2 years since the original 3DS had a price cut and the XL has yet to see its first price cut. 2014 will be the first full year of having a $129 sku and 2015 could easily see price cuts for all 3 models to $99/129/149. Also there are games like Smash Bros, Kirby, Yoshis New Island, Mario 3D Land 2, Pokemon Z, Pokemon gen 3 remake, Pokemon gen 7, Dragon Quest 11, Monster Hunter 5, Final Fantasy remakes/spinoffs, Majoras Mask 3D, Advance Wars, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Kid Icarus sequel, Resident Evil sequel, Kingdom Hearts sequel and other games that could potentially release from 2014-2016 that could cause sales to increase.
