"Fighting to stay alive"? "The future looks terrible"? C'mon guys...
Let's ignore handhelds, that had a huge boost last gen and are now arguably dying. Seventh gen numbers were heavily inflated by the Wii and then sixth gen numbers were also a little inflated by the PS2 (dvd player and whatnot). It's not "shrinking" per say, it's just going back to normal numbers. Any number between 150 and 200 million sounds like a safe bet to me.
