but consoles this gen will sell tens of millions less than last gen, worldwide combined. you disagree?

Nintendo are doing worse than last gen but both Sony and MS are doing better. I don't see a reduction in console sales (at the moment), all I see is a shift in market share.

There is almost no chance that PS4 + xb one pick up the slack left by Wii U falling so far short of Wii. And xb one tracking ahead of 360 at present means nothing long term. PS4 and Xb one are splitting a market of around 150-160 million. The vast majority of Wii owners have moved on and won't be buying a console this gen. The question is whether they can be tempted back next gen.

PS360 have sold a combined ~170m by now and still are selling. To think absolutely nobody will go from Wii to PS4 or XB1 is just silly, especially since Sony already confirmed many of the PS4 buyers didn't have PS4 but did have Wii or 360.
