I would be ecstatic to see just a small 10% decline, as feel be roughly a 30% decline.
The Nintendo Wii was like nothing I have ever witnessed, I saw so many people make it their first console purchase or first one in well over a decade. It expanded consoles in a massive way, and thus far all those people seem content to either continue playing Wii or have moved to tablets and phones. That is the big decline to me. Nintendo will likely see a 60-70% decrease this generation, and Sony and Microsoft have not shown me yet anything that will have a Wii like effect. The market is bigger than ever, but it is also far more saturated than ever.
My predictions were based off a 6-7 year console cycle.
