gaming aint as popular as it was during late 90s and early 2000s, i believe we'll get new HW sooner this gen and console gaming aint what it used to be in the west so stop comparing it to ps1 and 2s trends its gonna be tough for ps4 to get 20M+ ytd numbers let alone past 120M LT as seen predicted by many on here


I see people repeating this over and over, I've never seen any evidence that supports it though.

I don't think gaming has lost any popularity. I think there has been a sizable shift to mobile gaming, given the significant, required investment for smartphones (more than console costs) and the prevalence of freemium games on smartphones. Disposable income is not indefinite for the mainstream consumer.
