You're right.  Ignoring the existence of one entire product really does put a different spin on the industry.


To further emphasise my point. We don't pretend the Wii didn't exist. The Wii was an anomaly when you consider Nintendo consoles sold less with each gen. The hardcore Nintendo fanbase even decreased during the Wii gen because the Wii U is selling less than the Gamecube, which leads me to believe the actual Nintendo fanbase that bought the Wii was somewhere between the GCN and Wii U. No way did it increase over GCN and then took such a massive dive gen over gen. It is obvious where the bulk of the Wii install base came from and where it went.

 

Then the ps2 was an anomally and sony home consoles have been declining since the ps.

That doesn't make any sense. You seem to be under the idea that consumers can't come and go. the wii was bought by many ps owners from the previous gen, as well as people that bought N64 and snes but not the gamecube.
