I really don't the see the systems selling as much as he said, look at it like this, if you remove WII from the calculation seeing as that was an anomaly, then the user base has really shrunk, during the Ps2 era we had a collective user base of roughly 200 million users across 3 systems (PS2=150, GC=22, Xbox=25), but with only ps360 seeing as that was the system for the so called "HARDCORE", we only have 160 million users, and don't forget this systems have been on the market for about 8 years. this is not a good sign.
So far both Sony and Microsoft said that this gen will be shorter than the last, and don't forget that a lot of people bought the ps360 as multimedia machines (blu-ray, netflix and hulu) while others got it for casual games (kinect really moved systems). People that got it for the multimedia purpose have better and cheaper machines in their homes now, as for the casuals they have moved to phone and tablets. If anything the User base is actually shrinking and that is something we should really talk about.
