8th gen could be bigger than 7th, at least for home consoles.
Against 8th gen: existing markets could shrink.
In favour of 8th gen: PS4 and XB1, thanks to their PC-like architecture, could drop in cost, and so price, quickly enough to meet growing purchase power of middle classes in developing country. Wii U, thanks to its frugal design and the possibility to use a smaller screen for its pad, could drop in price quickly enough too, despite not using x86-64 PC components.
