Saturation of 7th gen.
Handeld gaming is getting eaten by mobiule.
But homeconsoles will continue to grow.
The homeconsole market grew 28% going from 6th to 7th gen.

That was pretty much entirely the Wii which caused that console growth. 

XBox 360 + PS3 = 160 million (give or take)

PS2 + XBox = 172 million

So Sony/MS sold roughly the same, only thing that changed is they basically split their market. 

Nintendo went from 22 million GameCubes to 100 million Wiis. That's where your console growth came from. 

That's not how installbase and market works.

Many of those 160m x360/ps3 users are the same as many gamers have both consoles. Wii was a compliment console, so many of the sales are from the same gamers that have a 360, a ps3 or both. Also, many sold their Wii's and bought a new one again thanks to the cheap price.

In fact, we only know shipments but not userbase. The grow came for all the people who bought a Wii for Wii Fit/Wii Sports.
