Far more split userbase last gen than this gen. Even so you're not going to see that kind of regression this generation. WiiU isn't going anywhere near 4m+ in Japan, expecting similar results for PS4 suggests you expect the home console to be down more than 60%.

It's just so incredibly hilarious to think PS4 is going to simmer all this gen with those huge, far more frequent franchises coming out.
