By your estimations, that would be about a 40 % drop in console sales.
I dont like to make predictions, but I think you can be about right about the total sales. The industry have been experiencing declines for some year by now and the new consoles doesn´t seem to be cathering new consumers to the market. YoY business is always smaller every week.
A good chunck of last gen consumers moved to mobile, tablet and PC gaming, and with the current prices the console market, be it home or handheld, are not being successfull in bringing them back. Videogame is becoming a niche market again.
I do believe no device will reach 100 million units sold again, perhaps the PS4 and the 3DS may get close. Every main brand will probably have lower sales than their 7th gen installments.
