For all that PS4 is doing very well, these sales are not getting anywhere close to making up for the massive die off in Nintendo and Xbox sales. There's a very good chance this generation will be 50% of last generation, especially if MS sees the writing on the walll and hits reset early (2017 is my guess). Dying might be overstating it, but console gaming has definitely passed its peak in its current form. The 7th gen is the peak generation for total console sales and we will never see its like again, IMO. |
You could argue that last gen total console sales were unique due to the Wii bringing in a totally different audience. Like pretty much all the women in my family and friends circle who bought the Wii for Wii Fit and then left it to gather dust.
Comparing this gen to last gen would be pointless as that audience no longer exists and the WiiU sales reflect this.
