Will collective sales of the 8th gen manage to match 7th gen?

No because of wiiu

lol, even if the Wii U sold as well as the others (well, actually it is starting to sell as well as the Xone right now), it would still be lower. PS4 will be lucky to even make it to 80mil with the sales it is bringing in now.  Btw, if the PS4 is going to reach your prediction, iis is going to need to sell 100-150k console a week on average for the next 9-10 years. With it already dipping below 100k on several weeks now, That is not going to happen.

Wii u is the biggest contributor,and ps4 will be not lucky at all to not sell 100M,it's not my fault if you are ignorent do you know Ps4 still selling better Ps3 until now and in Summer console sale are always low.

once cross-gen stop and get it's biggest exclusivity ps4 cold sell even 200k a week for long time

I do agree that the PS4 will pick up but usually if a console starts off slow it won't pick up that much. Look at Wii U. Even though it now has a great library it started off 2013 really slow and that ruined it. We're still seeing side effects of that today and probably will until it's done. Wii will sell more than PS4 unless Sony pushes the PS4 for 10-12 years like they usually do

Wii u don't have a great library for mass market a console without 3rd party games will not succeed wii 3rd party support did not improve a lot.

Wii died after it's 5 years but it won't happen for ps4

Wii started to die in 2010 i don't see ps4 die that quickly

Wii didn't start dying in 2010. It's sales were still good that year. Even in 2011 PS360 barely beat the Wii, so in Wii sales yes it started dying in 2011 but as for competition sales it didn't start dying until 2012.

Maybe i used the wrong word but after it's 5 years Wii sale start to fall quickly down 6 millions in 2011 and 2010 then 3 millions from 2012 to 2013
