Sure they are down if you exclude digital lol. Lets see how software sales when there some actual software to sale, or did you ecpect killzone and Titanfall to sael liek Uncharted and Halo ?
Xbox failure is easily explained, has nothing to do with any notion of people caring less about videogames. PS4 is ahead of the PS2 in NA, likely far ahead in Europe due to gaming growth there. Marlet is not shrinking, Nintedo just failed this gen and MS decided to shoot it self in the foot with a shootgun.
2 maybe, but focusing on females will not save wiiu sales.

A new report from market research firm NPD shows that only 29% of “core gamers” will purchase the next generation of gaming consoles right after they are released.
And then goes the xbox setting a record for its brand and PS4 sets all time console record. LOL Guess only 29% is quite enough.
And sales drop during a gen swich over, no way.
PS4 is ahead of PS2 in sales, X1 in not sure and once agian market contraction is only due to Wiius failure.
