I think probably this will be the smallest gen since the PSX-N64 era.
PS4 - 105 million
XBox One - 50 million
Wii U - 18 million
Is my guess, that would be 173 million consoles.
PS2 - 150 million
XBox - 24 million
GameCube - 22 million
= 196 million consoles, more if you want to count the Dreamcast
