problem with that. The horrible first 3 years were due to problems the PS4 doesn't have. The PS3 shot up because the issues it had were resolves so people bought it. Those issues do not exist on the PS4 and the numbers are bad.
I also don't get why people are saying the PS4 will be on the market for 10 years. With the way technilogy is progressing, you'd think generations would just keep getting shorter (until it reaches pretty much the critical point) to keep up with the rate of technology. Either that, make upgradable systems.
Also, I think people are look at the numbers of the PS4 from when it launched, Yeah, it sold like a wild fire and flew off the shelves but then... it just... kind of died. Numbers droped to below 100k a week and I don;'t think people are seeing that right now, they just seem to go on about the complete dominance and awesome sales that it.... no longer has and they just are seeing it because they were blinded by the launch of it. People blame it on the summer and that sales usually go down like crazy but... if you look at any console that has sold over 100 million in it's life time (with the exception of the DS... but then Pokemon happened and you know what happens in Japan when pokemon is released), they never dropped this low, this fast. The other thing is people bring up that it is killing the PS3.... well... yes it is but there were a lot of issues with the PS3 at launch, big one being the hefty price tag which the PS4 doesn't have. So... over all, people may be making their predictions too early as the current numbers could show really both senarios just as equal.
