I've said it before and I'll say it again. PS4: 50-60mil. WiiU/XB1: 30-35mil. This generation is going to be significantly smaller than the last one. No console in the 8th gen will reach 100m.

How much significantly smaller?

Well.. When all is said and done:

Wii: 102m - WiiU: 35m
DS: 155m  - 3DS: 85m
PS3: 85m  - PS4: 60m
PSP: 85m  - PSV: 20m
360: 82m  - XB1: 35m

Those are my predicitions for hardware. The attach rate for software will be higher on average. This gen will be more about the core gaming community. Last gen casual gaming was all the rage. Half of those Wiis, PS3s, and 360s out there only have a 2 or 3 games to go along with them.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I meant how significantly smaller will this gen be?

I donno something like hardware 1/2 the size of last gen and software 2/3 the size. Too lazy to math out the details. This is just my guess.

Ok, apologies again. I did the same mistake of not specifying it properly. I meant the duration in years. How long do you expect this gen to last?

Oh, OK. It'll be the standard 5 or 6 years.

5-6 years seems to be about right given the strength of the hardware released. IWii U numbers seem fair. I expect PS4 to reach at least 80 Mill and Xbone around 55-60 Mill, however I believe for Sony and M$ profits will be greater than last gen due to hardware being closer to breaking even on manufacturing costs.
