"The Console Market is Shrinking" is a BS Statement

Think this way.

If Nintendo had sold their usual 30~40 millions, we would have saw something between 190~~200 millions home console. If it wasn't by Wii huge sucess, 7th Gen could be under 6th Gen.

Now, 8th Gen has almost ZERO chance of getting over 7th Gen.If you think Wii U can hit 30M (N64 numbers, when currently it is unber NGC), then PS4 needs to do PS2 numbers (extremely hard), without hurting XONE (even harder). And all of that, without Japan.

I wouldn't be surprised if 8th Gen stays under 6th, to be honest.

Basically what I came here to say.

Wii is the only reason last gen was overall so strong. Without that power this gen, there's no way the console market will do better than the last two gens. Additionally, PS4 can't pull a Wii without hurting Xbox One. So, if PS4 does pull a Wii, Xbox One is screwed and Wii U will do whatever it was going to do leaving one super strong sales console and two not so amazing sales consoles. PS4's success could be a double edge sword.
