"The Console Market is Shrinking" is a BS Statement

Yeah, they are talking about Gen 8, but that's mostly because Nintendo artificially expanded the 7th Gen market and then put out the Wii U which failed completely to pick up were the Wii left. PS4 and X1 are still ahead of their last gen counterparts.

Which basically means that the seventh generation would have already seen a contraction, if it hadn't been for Nintendo.

Well, if Nintendo just went out of the console business then the market would definitely have contracted, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. So maybe you can explain your post a bit more to me. I'd say that when all is said and done the 360 and PS3 will have sold about maybe 95% of what the PS2 and Xbox sold, maybe more, so that might be a contraction but not really a big one.
