Wow, so 2007 was the peak year for 7th gen home consoles. I wonder if that means 2014 will be the peak year for 8th gen home consoles. Though maybe with PS4 only releasing in 2014 the peak year might be pushed out to 2015.
Wii faded extremely fast in Japan. While it was a sales phenomenon for 4 full years globally it was only really a phenomenon in 2007 in Japan. in 2008 it looks like it sold less than PS2's top 3 years, and perhaps its top 4 years. And after 2008 Wii only sold at PS2's 2005 level, which was its last year with no 7th gen competition.
