You're really underestimating the strength of long term legs. From launch until the end of 2010 the PS3 sold 46m and the Wii 82m. From then until now the PS3 has sold 36m vs the Wii with only 19m (11.5m of which came from 2011).

All those years of being sold out and absolutely crushing its competition, yet by the time the PS3/360 are discontinued the Wii's lead will likely be barley 10%. The smallest 1st place lead since before the NES.

That's not long legs, people just hated it at launch, but they loved Sony.  They held onto their old consoles until the price really came down.  PS4 actually had a good launch, so people aren't waiting to buy the system this time.  Not to mention, why would people buy more consoles in a generation that has significantly less games on it and an almost insignificant power increase over their old consoles.  

You can conjure up any reason you like, the fact of the matter is that despite years of crushing its competition the Wii didn't managed to maintain that success. In the end both the PS3 and 360 managed to close the gap considerably.

As for the bolded section, you're just being downright silly.

1) The average person only buys around 10 games across a generation. By the end of this gen both the PS4 and X1 will likely have hundreds of major releases, just like every other gen. I'm sure people will be fine ^^

2) Both the PS4 and X1 are a pretty significant leap over their predecessors. Comparing their launch titles to recent PS3/360 releases is pretty remarkable, comparing them to their predecessors launch titles is simply amazing.

Anyway, i'm going to leave this argument be. Reading through your other comments in this thread makes it pretty obvious your arguments are personal hopes rather than logical conclusions. I'll be sure to dig this thread up in a few years Enjoy your day ^^
