Every gen has shown solid growth in total consoles sold.

PS2/Xb/Gc was around 200m total.
Wii/PS3/X360 will end around 280m total.

This gen should be over 300m easily and none of that is counting portables.

How is that even possible?  There was such growth this generation because of the Wii and a host of casual gamers.  If you consider that audience now has multiple avenues to play games on like tablets and smartphones, and thus, will not be coming back to the dedicated console sphere, how do you possibly predict growth?  Wii U isn't going anywhere.  You honestly expect the XBO and PS4 to sell 270-280M combined?  Lol there is absolutely no way.

And this is not even considering Japan's declining interest in consoles...
