7th generation ended up as a close competitive generation selling over 270 million consoles with 3 consoles selling over 80+ million consoles between 2005 to present day.
Wii had the least power of the 7th generation consoles and opened up a commanding lead during its first 3 years selling 60+ million but struggled to sell another 35 to 40 million to crawl its way towards 100 million over the next 5 years. PS3 and X360 have both sold over 80+ million console systems.

8th generation: PS4 has over a 4 million lead over Wii U that launched a year ahead of the PS4. PS4 has sold around 6 million more than the XBox One that was released only two weeks after the PS4. PS4 is the strongest console system in terms of its graphics and processing power. 8th generation looks more than likely a repeat of the 5th and 6th generations when PS1 and PS2 sold 65% to 75% market share respectively.
