Seeing as these charts include handhelds, is anyone even remotely surprised by these numbers? Were it not for the sudden huge rise and then "fall" of handheld gaming the charts would look a lot more consistent.

This year ranks 15th out of 20 years for Platstation home consoles.

This year ranks 18th out of 20 years for Nintendo home consoles.

I was talking about the market as a whole. Take out all the handhelds from your last graph and things don't look quite as grim. Not great still, but reasonable given the situation. We also need to consider that the PC market has grown pretty significantly in recent years.

Right now I'm more worried about MS than i am about Sony as far as home consoles go (a situation that can still be reversed, but for now the X1 is selling pretty awfully). As for Nintendo, i'm beyond worrying and have entered the stage of mild amusement :p
