I get what you are saying but it's still shrunk from last gen. Will it stabalise from this gen onwards? Maybe. But it's also possible the core console gamers could shrink over the years also. A lot of the younger generation game on tablet so we might not get as many people in to the amount that leave.

It's certainly not doom and gloom for consoles right now.


One thing to note:  the shrink you are discribing was local to the Wii and it started a year before the PS4 and Xbox One launched.  If you consider the  latter two consoles, you find that the market has actually expanded.    In other words think about it statistically and admit that the Wii and the Wii U were outliers from Nintendo.   When you are trying to examine how you are doing, it always best to remove outliers.
