Well, you can start by comparing the different consoles, more specifically comparing the consoles in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place during their respective first spring. This shows the trend for the spring to be Wii>PS4, PS3>X1 and X360>WiiU. And I am quite sure the difference will be even larger during the next quarter (apr-Jun).


I believe that is mainly a problem with Nintendo rather than Sony and MSFT.  XBO and PS4 is outracking their predecessors and after the holidays XBO is tracking similar to X360 where as PS4 is blowing PS3 out of the water.  Are they really expected to pick up the slack of the WiiU?

From what it appears there will be 10's of millions less consoles sold as a whole but that appears to be largely because there is really only two consoles that are even being competitive at the moment and this is because Nintendo making big mistakes over the last few years.

As for PS4/XBO doing well theyre likely to get even better.  PS4 and XBO really only has a few big games atm and when XBO drops price and PS4/XBO both announce and release more games along with holiday deals theyre going to keep going.  Whether they pass PS3/X360 is a different story as i dont think any of us can see what is going to happen 10 years from now.  Calling doom within 5 months seems a little much to me.

I agree that it is way too early to call "doom". I have been skeptical about this generation even before they sold one console but I truly hope I am proven wrong :). There have been some signs that WiiU might pick up speed, PS4 holding its own and X1 gaining ground, but I will remain skeptical until they really take of.
