No one came close to the demand for Wii, and PS4 barely edged close to PS3's first January (low supply I guess, but Wii was also in that state (likely in much higher demand too) and it sold much more), and XB1 was well below 360. Wii U is......Wii U....I don't think I wanna know the state of the Vita.... #dooomed?!?!?! |
There is a huge decline, but I wouldn't say the industry is doomed (handheld maybe) but more that MS and Nintendo haven't been able to provide gamers with what they want.
Also regarding the Wii it should be noted that it had freakishly large sales in its first couple years but then dropped way earlier than the 360 or PS3, so a console doesn't need to outsell the Wii now to have a chance at beating its lifetime numbers.
