on a different note, it worries me that pretty much every console (PS4 is probably the only exception) seems to be on track to doing worse than their predeccessor.

That depends on how you want to look at it. It could also be that pretty much every console is going back to normal and their predecessors were anomalies or just flat out fortuitous.

  • 360 had the luxury of relaesing a year early, costing $300-$400 and
  • PS3 decided to come a year late and at $500-$600 all the while
  • having absolutely horrid marketing and damaging sony arrogance even worse off cause it was 
  • During a recession then the angels from the east came with 
  • Nintendo Wii and captured the hearts of the casual market only to lose it
  • now with the wiiU and 3DS cause they wanna play flappy bird instead
So yeah, last gen was strange, even for the people that succeeded it was strange. I think that because of how well nintendo did last gen a lot of poeple forgot that they were a company that their last two consoles before the wii didnt sell more than 30M units. And I think sony did so poorly with the PS3 that they practically served up their market share on a plate to MS. Funny thing is, people waiting for sony until E3 2006 when they announced $599.
