I'll just copy what I said in the NPD thread:
"wow this month was a total miss for vgchartz
BTW
NPD February 2007
360: 228,000 (or 161,000 if we want to use its first February)
PS3: 127,000
The industry is dying my ass."
So as several people have been saying: the console decline is completely a Nintendo thing

That was when the 360 and PS3 were still selling horribly. Wanna throw the Wii numbers up there? You're comparing it with the sell rates of failing consoles.. That was when developers were threatening Sony because they were selling less than 100K units a month. The Wii which won the generation with 100 million sales was selling over 200 000 units a week and almost a million a month. Yes this is for the same time span, the first month of february after the console launched in december.
If you compare the PS4 numbers to that right now, its doing absolutely miserably. Either that or Sony is VASTLY underproducing... The problem here is that they need not just some sales to support their console, but ALOT of sales.

Those Wii casual gamer sales are gone - they're not coming back to Nintendo and not going to Sony or MS either.
So yeah, the decline is completely a Nintendo thing. Sony & MS seem strong.

Except you need them to buy the PS4 because those games are expensive as hell to produce. GTAV cost like 265 million. You think that can be supported with 10 million console sales? Also, Sony fans are the ones who put a poll up in another thread asking how much the PS4 was going to sell and the lowest number was the same as the Wii at 100 mill... I said that 70 mill was realistic and had angry Sony fans down my throat. So which is it, are those numbers coming back to the PS4 or is the PS4 gonna be a hardcore only system?
If you want a more valid comparison, then it should be compared to the PS2's launch. Afterall, PS3 was when Sony F'ed up horribly and destroyed their entire games platform. This is supposed to be Sony's return to glory.
