My questions are; what are the grounds for this notion? What does it mean for "new" hardware to be front loaded? What are your thoughts on this?

What are? Simply: none. It's just doom sayers that don't want to believe in PS4/X1 current success. PS4 is even comparing reasonabl to PS2 sales pattern and that's a good new. However, I agree that PS360 were slower to gain ground. But that isn't because this gen is front loaded, but because last gen the market leader (Wii) was front loaded. It stole share from the twins before burning and crashing by its own limitations.

It's not doom sayers, read the responses, myself and others have explained quite well what it means.
